Cornwall is such a happening place! Messy Churches are popping up all over, and it was great to be invited to go and lead a 24-hour retreat for children’s workers in the Methodist Church in Cornwall by Janet Tredrea, our Regional Coordinator for Cornwall.
The District Chair, Revd Steven Wild and his frog kindly dropped in and waxed enthusiastic about Messy Church – we have friends in high places.
Much of the retreat was on the Lord’s Prayer, and I must sit down with a brain sometime and think about the values of the Lord’s Prayer in relation to Messy Church – food, heaven on earth, reconciliation of age groups, steering clear of evil… could be a challenging way forward.
