Messy Church

Stop Press: Due to the extreme weather Messy Church has cancelled their meeting on Sunday 12 July.

Our next get together is at 3.00 pm on Sunday 13 September 2026 in the Parish Hall, Lower Street, Harnham, SP2 8EY.

• Messy Church is a form of church for children and adults that involves creativity, celebration and hospitality.
• It’s primarily for people who don’t already belong to another form of church.
• It meets on the second Sunday each month (except August & April), in Harnham Parish Hall between 3.00 and 4.30pm.
• It typically includes a welcome, a long creative time to explore the biblical theme through getting messy; a short celebration time involving story, prayer, song, games and similar; and a sit-down meal together at tables. All elements are for, and should include, people of all ages, adults and children.
• It’s all-age.
• It’s fun.
• It’s a church for people at all stages of their faith journey and of any age – a congregation that is as valuable and worthy of investment as any of your other congregations.
• It models and promotes good ways of growing as a family: a nuclear family, an extended family, and a global and local church family.
