Messy Fun Day Portsmouth

13 February 2010

A fun day for all Messy Church teams, leaders and congregations in the Portsmouth area.

Bring your Messy Church Team! Bring your Messy congregation! Bring your family! Bring adults, teens and children for a fun day out: a jamboree of all our local Messy Churches! Make sure your Messy Church is represented to show off all you're doing! An ideal opportunity to invite your Messy families on an outing!

When? Sat Feb 13th 10.45 - 3.30

Where? St Wilfrid's Church Hall, Padnell Road, Cowplain PO8 8DZ Plenty of parking in the carpark behind the church.

Why? To enjoy being messy, swap good ideas, see what's happening in other Messy Churches around Portsmouth and have a good time together

What? This isn't a training day - there'll be no listening to talks or going to seminars: this is a fun day with great activities for all ages.

Cost? £1 a person to help with materials, payable on the door (and to be honest, if you can't afford it, come anyway.)

It's a bring and share day!
The more exciting ideas you bring with you, the more exciting the day will be!
Each Messy Church team represented will have a table allocated to them. On this table you can put up a display of your Messy Church: maybe some photos or a laptop with a slideshow on... or perhaps you'd like to display some of the things you've made recently, show off your publicity leaflets... newspaper articles about your Mess... whatever!
Later in the day, we'll clear all that away and we'll have a big Messy Crafts time, so each Messy Church needs to bring one or more craft activities to lead from their table, just as you would at a normal Messy Church. Of course you and your team will have the chance to go and enjoy the crafts everyone else has brought: why not bring a camera to make a record of everyone's ideas as well as trying them out?

A simple sandwich lunch will be provided for anyone who prebooks - there's no charge, but donations towards food will be very welcome.

If you have members who can only come for a part of the day, that's fine - come and join in with as much or as little as you like.
As ever, this is a family activity, so all children need a responsible adult with them.

To book places, plese email Lucy with numbers, dietary needs, and ages of any children before Feb 10th
