CARE FOR CREATION

The Bible says The Lord God planted a garden in the East, in a place called Eden. He put the man he had formed in that garden….to care for it and work it.

Janet Phythian from Africa Naturally (a project in Mozambique to encourage people to farm the land sustainably) was with us, talking about how important it is to take care of the soil (hence dirt/gummy worm activity!)  

Other Crafts/Activities included

Garden of Eden collage – lots of pictures of plants/animals, 

Pressed Flower cards 

Dirt and Worm cups with instant chocolate pud, milk, oreo biscuits, gummy worms 

Nature Scavenger Hunt 

Teatime food – make your own pizza. 

We had such a lot to be thankful for at Messy Church.  Thank you to all who facilitated great crafts, provided delicious food (including the legendary cranberry and pistachio cookies) and contributed enthusiasm, energy and cheeriness to get term off to a joyful start.

And thank you to our Creator God who gives us His beautiful world (especially easy to appreciate it in this September sunshine) and each other.
