We will start back tomorrow from 10am. Entrance to the hall may be tricky with a buggy still. If possible, carry your baby on you or plan to drive along to carry your baby in. There should be a path cleared to the small green door to enter as usual, if not, go next door to the church house/church office entrance and follow signs to get to find us in the front room of the church house.

It is never too early to start knitting wee sheep for the knitted nativity.... we are collecting small knitted sheep until mid-November. If you need the pattern, please speak with Michelle Brown on a Sunday and please return any knitted sheep you create to Michelle - she'll include these in the travelling Advent Messy Church nativity set and also in some Advent at home bags too. Thanks!

Messy Church at the Big Beach Busk!

Come along to the promenade on Saturday to hear the great music and take in the fantastic atmosphere at this community event. It runs from noon until 6pm and anyone can play, sing or listen in to join in along the full length of the promenade.

Find our Messy Church team on the promenade at the top of Brunstane Road North from 2pm-5pm. We will have crafts and big bubbles. We will make a Joyful noise as well, singing with Jamie. Hope to see you there!!! Don’t forget your small change to tip all the buskers along the promenade.

Worship on 30 August will be located at our partner church with our friends at Meadowbank and Willowbrae Church at 10:30am. The Sacrament of Communion will be shared in worship this week.

Children are welcome to start in worship with their families and then go to the hall for a Godly Play session part-way into worship. The children will re-join their families in church for communion. All are welcome!

Please note that PJPC will be closed again this Sunday as construction has moved into the church part of the complex. We will return to worship at PJPC on 6 September, but temporarily located in the Main Hall for worship until construction finishes. Thanks for understanding!
