Grove Messy Church Easter Eggstravaganza
As a change to the usual routine, Grove Methodist held its April Messy Church session on a Saturday and called it Easter Eggstravaganza. They were thrilled to have nearly 50 children and adults attend.
They started the session with an Easter egg hunt around the church; fortunately all children were able to find the right number of eggs!
Activities included making a chocolate flower which the children were encouraged to give to someone else, an Easter chick made from drawing around their hand, a stitched cross and an Easter card or garden.
These activities proved very successful, as did the decoration of the cross of flowers which was placed outside church on Easter Day.
The children sat to hear the Easter story, then following a song and a prayer everyone enjoyed pasta bake and chocolate cakes.
The children were all given a book containing the Easter story as they left as a reminder of the importance of this special time of year.
