Messy Church is a way of being church for families and others. It is Christ-centred, for all ages, based on creativity, hospitality and celebration. It's church but not as you know it.
​
Each session begins with a number of activities all linked to the theme - so there will be crafts, some messy and not messy activities, games and challenges. You're free to wander around and give them all a go, or just stay with your favourite.
There is also a quiet/reflective corner.
​
Refreshments are available throughout.
​
This is then followed by our "Celebration time." This is our story-telling time, when we pull together all that we have been doing and learning, watch a video, sing some songs, and take a moment to reflect.
​
We finish with sharing food together around the tables as we chat some more about all that we have done and learnt.
​
Messy Church starts at 16.00 and finishes by 18:00 and currently meets in the Church Centre in Tervuren OR in the Parish Hall (Parochiezaal) at St Jozef Moorsel-Tervuren.
​
We aim to have Messy Church once a month the 4th Saturday of each month, except during July and August, but occasionally dates will differ due to holidays etc. Please check What's On for exact dates and venue.
