Messy Fiesta in BedfordLucy Moore |
||
We were delighted to welcome some 50
delegates to the Bedford Messy Fiesta
on Saturday, about 15 of whom had already started some form of Messy Church,
with the rest thinking about it. This time Martyn accompanied me and worked
valiantly all day, as did the Children’s Adviser Ruth Pyke, for which I am very
grateful. Together we welcomed the guests, gave them a lively hands-on day of
thought-provoking discussion and presentation, craft and food in true Messy Church
tradition. It was lovely to have Deborah and Duke Vipperman from Toronto with
us for the day - most of the other people were slightly more local. Some
interesting questions, as there always are, about messy theology and about who
could do a PhD in such a glorious subject, and about the validity of a once-a-month
church 'experience'. And I think we managed to keep the paint off the strawberries. |
