Messy Church is back tomorrow at 4pm! You are welcome!

Noah built the most enormous boat. That kept the birds and animals afloat. The Lord was good, the Lord was strong. And Noah lived his life for him.

This year in Messy Church we are going to be looking at lots of people from the Bible who followed God and he guided them to do great things. This Sunday as we think about Noah's story you'll be able to make rainbow cupcakes, experiment with shaving foam rain clouds and even build your own (mini) ark! Plus lots of other activities and some yummy food to finish.

See you on Sunday!
