As you know, Messy Church has happened monthly on a Wednesday from 4-6 p.m. for many years. It’s a time for children and their carers to have a fun and creative time together while learning more about the Christian faith and events from the Bible. There is a celebration time in church which is usually led by our minister and this is followed by a meal which we all share together.
May Messy
Here we are, all together again, to think about how special we all are and how much God loves each of usWe made some self-portraits to show how different we all are, and rainbow people on biscuits, all lovely and special.
And here’s some card people we decorated – they are all different and equally important.
We got messy with paint on our hands – our hands are different shapes and sizes, and our fingerprints are special to us.
And as for different parts of the body -we had a ball game challenge with a target of the body. We tried to throw the balls into the different sections.
And we had a special visitor called Robert (from Wight Biodiversity). We were able to see all of his bones and learn their names – the bones which hold us in shape.
When we went into church we talked about what we had been doing and then sang a song with actions all about the different parts of the body.
All the parts are different and are there to do different things. If we were all ears we could hear, but how would we see?
If we were all hands, we could hold things, but how could we walk?
If we were all noses, we could all smell things, but how could we talk?
We all need all of the parts to be us.
In the Bible, the writer Paul describes a church as a human body with different parts -It’s made up of many people and every part is important.
It’s the same in life. God’s world is made up of many parts.
If everyone was a teacher, who would drive the bus to school?
If everyone could only climb mountains, who would cook their food when they got hungry?
