Hi Charis, my slow response perhaps indicates how rarely I check Children Matter. I'm really Glad you started this page - it's at least another way of people finding out about / contacting Messy Church.

A group for anyone involved in or interested in setting up a Messy Church for children and families in their setting. Space to share ideas and stories and to get in touch with others who can support you and your group.

Have you considered using the retired couple approach to visiting the non-christian parents too ?
They are much less threatening than younger folk ... representing traditional respectable values ... which is where Christianity is still seen by man...
Just joined the group - really interesting discussion. I mainly work with pre-school aged children in a church setting. Controversially I'm not convinced that it is the quality of the original song that matters so much as how it's used. None of us...
disccussion of children's worship songwriting, how useful are current british children's british songs, do american, australian and other countries children's worship songs connect with children's styles of worship in the UK.
We all got an invite to hear "Mark Griffiths" at the Children's Evangelism day. He's an international speaker / academic interested in children's evangelism. Listen to his helpful podcasts free from "Enlarge 07" http://www.serious4god.co.uk/enlarg...
