Holiday Messy Church - Exciting news! We are planning to run a Holiday Messy Church here at DMC during the first week of the summer holidays in July. It would run 9.30am - 12noon on Thursday 23rd and Friday 24th July. There would also be a special service on Sunday 26th July which will continue the theme of Creation & all things Eco. We are hoping that the whole church will get behind this and come together to host a wonderful event for the children in our community. There will be lots to do in advance and there will be something for all who are interested in being involved (details coming soon) but some role examples are: refreshments, cutting and preparing activities, running activities, welcoming people, tech team, musicians, puppeteers, woodwork skills, setting up tables etc.

If you would like to get involved, then please have a chat with me. Looking forward to this exciting opportunity. Sarah Jessop.
