Returning to Messy Church Safely *NEW*
Many Messy Churches are wondering about meeting face-to-face again after many months apart. We have provided some suggestions for how this might be done safely.
Weird times
We can do so much as Messy Churches in these weird times. It’s inspiring to see so many Messy Churches doing so much to keep in touch with, support and resource their Messy families. The creativity and hospitality of Messy Church is going way beyond a once-a-month gathering, and the celebration is needed more than ever as we walk through this difficult time together, keeping Christ at the centre of all we do.
Here at The Bible Reading Fellowship (BRF), we want you to know we’re here to support you and to do whatever we can to cheer you on on your own frontline. It might be by sharing the ideas you’re creating with the wider network or providing resources geared to Messy needs for you to share with your families. It might be meeting online via social media or simply thanking you for a job well done.
Let us know if you can help others in the network through your ideas or resources. Let us know how we can help you. Let us know what you need. And thank you for everything you are and everything you do in Jesus’ name. Maybe we are here 'for such a time as this’.
During lockdown, join Lucy and worldwide Messy Church friends on Facebook Live every Wednesday at 9.00 am or 8.00 pm UK time for half an hour of encouragement, companionship and food for thought.
On Ascension Day (Thursday 21 May) we set out on the speediest round-the-world trip ever, to celebrate the amazing international Messy Church community and to bring a little joy to the day. We set sail (virtually), took off (in our imaginations) and revved our (digital) engines for a whole day of Mess!
