The
Once-a-month Not-on-a-Sunday Messy Church!
The
Next Messy Church at St
Saviour's Church, Brookwood is on Saturday 13th March
2010, 3.30-5.30pm.
At
the end of January, we hosted our first evening entitled - 'The
Questions Children Ask'?
In a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, accompanied by food and wine,
we explored the 'answers' to some questions such as 'Why didn't
God stop the earthquake in Haiti?', 'Do my Muslim and Jewish friends
worship the same God as I do?'. Some of those who were there commented:
'Just wanted to share with you just how valuable I thought the
meeting was. Firstly I really really enjoyed it, it was thought
provoking and reminisant of student days when debating everything
was paramount and putting the world to rights! A must!' and....
'My
children are too little to be asking anything too profound, but
I have lots of questions myself and I found it really helpful'
....'Wow!
What a good evening. Difficult questions examined in a great atmosphere;
made me think about them from a different angle / viewpoint. Whens
the next one?
So,
when is the next one? The answer to that is Wednesday 24th
March, 7.30pm at St Saviour's Church - we look forward to welcoming
you!
Take

Church Gallery to get a flavour of what goes on at Messy Church!
