Anglican Youth, Children and Families

A couple of weeks ago I had the great pleasure and joy of attending my very first Messy Church at Sherwood Anglican Church. Sherwood Anglican is well known for being champions of Messy Church with Sue and Glen Taylor being strong advocates and trainers for many years of this form of Church Service. Ever since I started this job, Messy Church has often come up in conversations when discussing ways we can become more intergenerational and how we can reach families to share the Gospel in ways and formats that are engaging and welcoming. Messy Church started back in England in 2004 and has since grown and spread across many different countries worldwide. This expression of church at its very heart is about family, to share the gospel and pass along the faith through a service that allows everyone of all ages to come together to learn and worship. I am not an expert on Messy Church so if you are interested in exploring it a little more head straight to their website at www.mess
