Messy Church is proving very popular indeed. The latest one, 1st February, was attended by 14 children and an equal number of adults. Breakfast provided, probably more healthy than the one served at the Big Breakfast! Arts and crafts for Juniors always enthuse the children Perhaps the highlight of the morning was watching all the youngsters sitting in a semi circle and captivated by David Lloyd’s talk. Well done everyone.
