Our Second Messy Church was held on 17th November 2012. We were blessed to see so many people from our
local Hanwell community enjoying our Light-inspired event; we were extremely happy to welcome back so many familiar faces.
Activities included:
Light Printing – a giant sized floor painting for people
to get stuck into with their hands – creating stars, planets, suns, moons,
fireworks etc
Messy Touch – a fun and interactive guessing game involving a series of sealed bags containing light-related objects.
Sparky Art – a collage full of lights, glitter and shining objects such as fireworks, candles, flames, torches
Making Lanterns and Stained Glass Art
Our celebration started with everyone gathering together and being given a glow stick. We dimmed the lights and proceeded on a journey through darkness, guided by our simple light sticks.
The journey took us through a tunnel, over obstacles, through a swamp, via planks of wood guiding the way, following a string, which eventually lead everyone into our celebration space. Jesus is our light that guides us through darkness.

Many people stayed for our shared meal, enabling us to
chat and begin to form new friendships with our community.
