Whether or not you’re usually part of a Messy Church, we’d love you to join our Maytime celebrations – on your own, or with your family or friends. It’s all part of the first ever ‘Messtival’, a free one-day event taking place on Saturday 22 May to mark Pentecost – the birthday of the church. With free workshops for Messy Church teams in the morning, and the world’s biggest Messy Church celebration in the afternoon, there’s something for everyone.
The Great Big Messy Church
Wherever you are in the world, you’re welcome to be part of the Great Big Messy Church on YouTube at 3.00 pm.
Have fun getting messy with the all-age activities that unpack what happened on the ‘birth day’ of the church (Pentecost) – and what this tells us about how we walk with God in our daily lives. Enjoy some great storytelling from Martyn Payne and don’t forget to bring your favourite party food!
