Welcome to Messy Church

Messy Church is a time for children and adults to be creative, celebrate and enjoy hospitality together. Each meeting starts with a welcome followed by creative time (crafts games and activities), a short fun worship time and finally a family meal. Refreshments are available throughout.

It’s messy because we may paint things and ourselves, play messy games or bake cakes and biccies. Its church because God loves it when people come together to have fun and be creative. That’s what worship really is about!

Here at Trinity Church, Messy Church has been going since January 2013. It meets every fourth Saturday of the month from 15.00 -17.00.

If you would like to know more about Messy Church then please contact us through the administrator.

We hope you are able to join us over the coming months

October 2021 Homily – Godsends

August 2021 Homily

Beautiful game to Astrolabe ! At the risk of repeating myself… I am not a great fan of football! However, I used to be in the 70s in the heyday when Leeds United were at the top of the tree under the legendary Don Revie with players such as Allan Clarke, Terry Cooper,...

July 2021 Homily

35! Million or Billion? Not blessed with great mathematical skills, I do however manage to stay in credit and I do also know the difference between 35 million and 35 billion. Still, I guess it’s an easy mistake to make and, since we are talking money, these are...
