Messy Christmas at St. Augustine Parkland

On December 8 at St. Augustine’s Parkland, Messy Church had in attendance 100 children with their parents and grandparents, making our service over 150 people. The theme was built on the idea of a St. Nick’s Party; whereby, through our crafts and service, we deepened our understanding of the story of St. Nicholas and the birth of Jesus. We also sang wonderful Christmas hymns to heighten the theme.  In addition, we had two specials guests, Mr. and Mrs. Claus, join us during our feast. Emmanuel was truly with us in the midst of this chaotic joy! Submitted by Rev. Billy Isenor
