A MESSY Christmas event will be taking place at St Stephen's Church this Saturday, December 7, starting at 10am.

There will be a range of crafts to try, learning about Christmas symbols and making nativity scenes.
Messy Church starts with a welcome, followed by the craft activities and games to suit all ages.

Before everyone joins together to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas with singing and praying. The morning finishes with a snack and drinks.

Rhiannon Walpole, from the Messy Church team, said "Within two hours you will have made friends, enjoyed making things to take home and shared worship and a drink together. It really is a great morning and there is no need to book, just come along with your family and friends".

There is no charge but donations are welcome.

Messy Church has been organised by members of Emmanuel Church and Redditch Holy Trinity, and has been a huge success since it started two years ago.
