Introduction to "Messy Church"

Veronica Priest from BRF will be coming to lead us in a "Messy Fiesta" - an opportunity to learn more about how the concept of "Messy Church" is opening up new ways of engaging with children and families in our communities who aren't attracted to traditional expressions of "Sunday Church"

This will be a fun and informative day-long event - at which, I hope, adults and children will be very welcome!
