Messy Church @ Saint Anselm's!

Messy Church - Fall 2026

​ September 18th, October 16th, November 20th, December 11th, January 15th
Join us the third Friday of each month
​(September to June)

6 pm - 8 pm in the Great Hall
for messy fun, including:

​a Bible story
prayer
singing
crafts
laughter
sharing a hearty meal to start the weekend

​
All are welcome. 
All the generations.
You'll have fun. 
You'll meet great people.
You'll even meet Jesus.
​ Come on over. 


Bringing the generations together in joy!

Christian Education (Messy Church) is scheduled for children from September to June. (But it really goes on all year, and most of it happens outside of church, at home and on the playground and in the supermarkets and stores!). Children begin education to Christ in church as early in life as their parents desire. 

Our monthly support at church for entering into the faith for the next generation is Messy Church, an inter-generational, Scriptural, lively and relaxed evening of art, crafts, laughter and learning, concluding with a good meal for the family!
Messy Church takes place in the Great Hall on the third Friday of each month from September to June.  
​
The active participation of parents and grandparents in making all this good happen is most warmly encouraged and accepted.  Call the Church Office to see how you can help (and gain much in the effort).
