CHILDREN and parents from Claines in Worcester met at the church hall for their first Messy Church event this month.

The theme was creation, and children reflected on the Bible story while making junk animals, colourful birds, fish mobiles and a communal creation scene.

The children wrote thank you prayers, which were included in a short act of worship. They included the Bible story and songs.

After the event, everyone shared a meal together, before going home with all their creations.

Anyone in Claines who would like to join in the next session on Saturday, April 7, is welcome at 3pm at Claines Church Hall, Cornmeadow Lane, Worcester. Contact Rev Nick Kaleniuk on 458331 or e-mail nicholas.
