Messy Creation

Messy gloop!
Originally uploaded by Lees Street.

Everyone enjoyed exploring the theme of creation at our August Messy Church.

Breakfast included making some yummy fruit smoothies, thinking about all the tasty fruit in our world.

Our activities included :

- making cornflour gloop and exploring its different textures and creating patterns with it.

- thinking about the land and sea while making our own earth balloons.

- designing our own bugs using pipe cleaners and pom-poms.

- cutting and sticking different materials to create our own creation collage.

We celebrated all that we had made by using actions to tell a creation story and thinking about how we could look after our world.

Look at our photos on flickr to see what we got up to...

A Question of Religion

A Question of Religion

A panel of people from church took on the challenge of responsing to a range of questions about religion.

The questions were raised by young people from the musical and drama society based at Lees Street. An interesting discussion was had about beliefs about God, Jesus and the Bible.

We hope this will be the start of opportunities to discuss questions of faith that we all have.
