As spring is on the horizon, I’ve been doing a spot of spring cleaning! I’ve got all the Messy Church and
Sunday Club supplies in order and it feels so good to have a fresh slate — although, it does always look
so much messier before it gets cleaner… or is that just me? writes Corinne.
In Sunday club we talked about a big word:
transfiguration — which we said was about being
basically a big spiritual change.
To go with this big word, we created a science
experiment to help remember the Bible story
which involved making a cloud in a jar! We had a
blast mixing up colours and cracking some glow
sticks. We also talked about the season of Lent and
what it means to say you will 'take up your own
cross' and follow Jesus through some games and
crafts.
Our Messy Church theme was St Valentine, and
we loved talking about love! We even read a story
about God’s love, created St Valentine puppets,
sang songs, enjoyed a yummy meal, and more!
Just before the start of Lent we also celebrated
pancake day with a pancake decorating party, relay
races, and time spent together. There was so much
sugar that many of us left with tummy aches!
It’s been a fun time for us all!
