Messy Church will be meeting next Friday May 2 (for those of you keep track its a week earlier than we usually meet). 

So why would we meet a week earlier?
St Mary's is hosting a plant sale and car wash on the Saturday to raise money for the youth and family programs they fund - of which Messy Church is one. What better way to show our support than to help with poster making and set up!

Bring your best postering skills and help us create advertising. Ensure plants are ready to go and help with some set up tasks.

We'll have hot dogs on the grill and have a good old fashioned BBQ.
Dinner at 5:30
Poster making and set up until 7:30

Please RSVP so I can ensure there is enough food for all and please do invite family and friends to join us it is always nice to have new faces out to Messy Church!

Theme

Rooted and rising. From our roots laid down for us, from our past, to rising up and putting our best foot forward, and standing up for what we believe in. Like the rising of the sun in the east, each day starts with a light glow at the break of the day, to the flourishing beams at midday. As the hours pass becoming more powerful.

Each time you rise, your roots will become greater and stronger. Like a community, with just a few people, it would not survive, but the more roots, the more people in the community, the more likely it will thrive. Just like in the parable of the mustard seed, the mustard seed starts as the smallest seed. Growing its roots, to rise into a bright yellow flower. Where will you rise to? How deep will your roots go?

Fun fact: did you know that Saskatchewan is the world’s number one exporter of mustard seeds?
