Hard to believe - but it's already time again to think about Christmas preparations.

This year, we'll again be supporting the Blythswood Care Christmas Shoebox Appeal. If you would like to pack and donate a shoebox, for a child, teenager or adult, please print this checklist, pack your box and bring it to one of our churches, by Sunday, 28 October.

Messy Church: Friendship

3/9/2018

We had a great time at Messy Church yesterday, thinking about friendship in a lot of different ways - by making friendship bracelets, keepsake boxes and friendship wreaths, decorating biscuits while discussing what friendship means to us, by playing team games, while the babies and toddlers played in a soft play area.

We then heard about friendship stories in the Bible and learned a song, before having a lovely meal of sausages, mash and beans, followed by jelly and fruit, together.

It was great to see so many children and parents there - some old friends and some new - we hope you all had a good afternoon! Here are some photos of what we got up to:
