at Cross-Links we have explored lots of different ways for us to gather as a 'congregation' over the years. messy church 'hits the mark' for us because it fits our context well - we are very craft focussed at our activities especially for children and young people, so it is a great way to express ourselves as we gather together sunday by sunday. Unlike other Messy Churches we welcome unaccompanied children alongside families; i suspect they come because they feel comfortable and at home. our youth worker Becky draws in some of the older youths that attend their activities and they often bring their younger siblings (often having previously attended our toddler group) and friends. Interestingly they come back week by week (as we meet weekly) and are not put off by the Christ-centred crafts, chat, songs or prayers.
over the weeks following easter we are taking a look each week at a different appearance of the risen jesus, today we thought about the appearance to the disciples at easter and again the following week when thomas was with them. Here are a few photos from earlier today...
Easter Blessings to you and your loved ones <><
