I’m well chuffed with the steady trickle of Messy Churches coming on to the Directory.
This will be really useful, both so that we can pray for each other and as people try to find one near them to visit…
… especially as I foolishly didn’t write down the addresses of the Messy Churches I found by googling a while back, and when asked actually to send details of one I’d mentioned in Coventry, couldn’t find it again.
Also very heartening that they’re popping up not just in one area but both north and south – from Hellifield to Sussex.
Another interesting observation: given how many women work in the field of children’s work, look how many blokes are down as the contacts.
