We had great fun on Saturday putting our heads together with the first group of Messy Writers for Get Messy! Sneak preview: Get Messy! will be a magazine for Messy Church leaders and is coming out next year, three times a year. It’ll have a Messy Church session for every month, written not by me (hoorah, you say) but by other MC leaders from around the country. Obviously there’s going to be far more in it than just sessions for your MC: it’s going to be a humdinger of useful and inspirational stuff. Thanks to John, Kim, Eleanor, Sharon, Olivia and Karen for such a fun day. Hysteria only set in once or twice… and Kim was able to email afterwards: ‘What an amazingly productive day! So much creativity and inspiration flowing through the day!’ More details coming out over the next few months.
