As the father of two kids under five years old I know that life can get pretty hectic.\u00a0 Many families struggle with the idea of attending church together.\u00a0 With work, sports, school, and other activities Parents and their kids already don’t get enough time together as a family.\u00a0 Many parents also struggle with knowing how to disciple their kids.\u00a0 I don’t blame parents for this, it’s not easy.\u00a0 That’s where the church can and should come alongside families.\u00a0 Starting this Fall we’ll be hosting Messy Church on the third Friday of each month.\u00a0 Messy Church is for all people, not just kids.\u00a0\u00a0 It will be a space for all people, young and old, to use their hands and minds to experience God and the church in an unconventional way.\u00a0 Enjoy a friendly dinner together before joining in exploring our faith through art, music and experiments. Main dish provided, bring a side to share. \u00a0If you would like to assist with this project, please sign up on the link on the website home page.
