Masses of mess in church!

People in the west of the Island have the opportunity to make a mess with their children and not worry about clearing it up.

Messy Church is an initiative to get families to spend a couple of hours doing things together, while learning about the spirit of Christianity.

Once every month there's an event at either Dalby or Glen Maye Chapel where people do craft activities related to a certain topic.

Supper is also provided, free of charge, for both adults and children.

Organiser Cheryl Cousins says it's a great way of introducing people to the church environment in an exciting way.

The next Messy Church event is at Dalby Chapel on Saturday April 26th.
