Messy Church is fast becoming an important part of life at Trinity. It is currently being held 4 times a year in The Mansel Road Centre and is an alternative form of worship for all ages and for the whole community. It is interactive, fun, creative, relaxed and celebratory. You do not need to be a church member or even a church goer to come and join in the fun!<\/p>\n

Each Messy Church lasts approximately 2 hours and each session explores a different Bible story or theme.<\/p>\n

So what can you expect?
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well firstly, once you arrive you can expect a very warm welcome from our Messy Church team. They will help you to explore our theme through craft, games, art, cutting, sticking and much more! \u00a0Make your way round our various activity tables at your own pace. They can be accessed by all ages- don\u2019t be shy to let your creative juices flow and get stuck in!<\/p>\n

Secondly (after approx 45 minutes) we have a short worship, story and celebration time. This is informal, interactive and always involves music and song.<\/p>\n

Finally, we will invite you to join us to sit down together for a hot meal.<\/p>\n
