On Tuesday, 4th March, we hosted a fantastic Messy Church Family Pancake Party filled with fun, creativity, and, of course, delicious pancakes!

Crafts, Creativity, and Lent Reflections

As families arrived, we started with refreshments before diving into some exciting Lent-themed crafts, including:

Playdough Cactuses – Representing Jesus in the desert

Charcoal Crosses – Reflecting on Ash Wednesday

And many more engaging activities!

After craft time, we gathered for a story and reflection on Lent, considering how Jesus showed His love for us during this important season.

Pancakes and a Friendly Competition

Then came the moment everyone was waiting for—pancakes! They were thoroughly enjoyed by all, disappearing in record time!

To wrap up the event, we decorated paper pancakes before finishing with a competitive Pancake Race featuring Lucy, Lucy, Tim, and Ben. The champion? Lucy Barbour! (And of course, absolutely no one cheated… 😉)

A Huge Thank You!

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped, prayed for, and attended the event. We were blessed to have around 50 children and adults join us for this wonderful celebration.
