Messy Church, Bolsover

Thanks to a New Beginnings Grant, Bolsover Church has created a Messy Church for families and a Vintage Messy Church as part of the Ladies Fellowship.

The journey began as the result of one woman sharing her vision for Messy Church at Bolsover during a Sunday Service. Eleven people responded to this call and began to explore the Messy Church model. A pilot session was created for church families involving 4 families with 11 children between them.

Great fun was had by all and it created an even bigger desire from everyone involved to have more.

This October sees the first planned monthly Messy Church's with invitations going out through local schools.

Godfrey Chikaviro, Minister in Training at Bolsover said: "Please pray for us as we continue to develop this mission, grow a strong team and grow a church that honours our Lord. We are delighted that the reputation of Who Let the Dads Out locally gives us a great base.

"Thank you for the grant and faith it represents which has enabled us to approach this task so positively and hopefully."
