Hi
First and foremost we hope you and your family
are well, healthy and safe.
We will soon be entering yet another week of
lockdown, another week of not being able to meet
together, at church in fellowship, as Messy Church.
Staying occupied with the family within the home is important, therefore we have created this special area for Messy Church. It is fully of crafts, activities, ideas and challenges, which we have included links to various other websites. Some activities require printing so apologies in advance if you do not have a printer but there are plenty which do not require printing.
Please remember your home schooling comes first but maybe you will find something on our website which is useful for your spare time or the weekend.
Some of you would have taken on our Facebook Easter challenge, well you can find your creation by Clicking Here. If you are not on our Facebook then please join Abbots Road Messy Church Facebook page.
Don’t forget to regularly check this website for updates on challenges.
Meanwhile, we look forward to seeing you at Messy Church, hopefully, sometime soon.
Be assured that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
God Bless,
​
