MESSY CHURCH IN THE ORCHARD

The Orchard was a hive of activity recently when Messy Church came to visit for the first time. It was very successful and a great time was had by all.  

"The afternoon was really lovely. Rev Helen gave a short talk then the children were sent off on a scavenger hunt and to tables dotted around the orchard with Harvest activities. We had over 30 children and they all really enjoyed it, especially eating apple cakes at the end!" - Caroline, Church Coordinator
