MESSY CHURCH
Here in the benefice with Udimore and Beckley and Peasmarsh. Messy church normally meets on the the First Tuesday of each month in the Udimore Community Hall.
This afternoon get together is for adults and children together in a fun filled Christian community outside Sunday worship. It is described as a way of being church for people who don't do traditional church, for whatever reason. It is a church for all ages but essentially adults are welcome with a child in tow or vice versa.
In fact this is key to Messy Church - children do not come along alone & adults must bringg a child or young person if they wish to take part. There are crafts and activites, celebration & a shared meal.
Why not come and join?
