Have you discovered the weekly Facebook Live events on
Messy Church BRF (Bible Reading Fellowship)?
With the beginning of the global pandemic Lucy Moore, the founder of Messy Church began to have weekly global live events. Check them out every Wednesday at 9 am and 8 pm (British Summer Time).
Currently, these weekly live events are exploring the five foundational values of Messy Church. Okay- quickly now, what are theses five values? (I admit that I usually can’t remember one of them when I am asked) Ready, set, go: All Ages Together, Celebration, Hospitality, Creativity and Christ Centered! Did you get them all?
Lucy Moore explored the Messy Church Value of Creativity on April 29th as we each attempted to fold an origami boat. On May 6th, Martyn Payne focused on the Messy Church Value of All Ages Together. On Wednesday May 13th, Hospitality will be discussed.
Creativity Facebook Live on April 29 with Lucy Moore
The chat box filled quickly with; “tired, focused, exhausted, overwhelmed, energized, and edgy” when Lucy asked the question, how are your feeling? She then proceeded to share her reflections on how this time of the pandemic has brought some new awareness to the Messy Church value of creativity. She has been reading Alan Hirsch book, The Forgotten ways, (Brazos Press) and was drawn to his chapter on liminality and communitas, which describes the opportunities and perhaps privilege of being uncomfortably on the edge.

All Ages Together Facebook Live on May 6th, 2020 with Martyn Payne
Martyn Payne, author of Messy Togetherness, led a global messy conversation on the value of All Ages together. In the 30-minute Facebook live event we explored the questions: How can we do Messy Church in these circumstances in a way that doesn’t give up on trying to express our all-together value? How do we find ways to live out this value when we’re having to organize Messy Church? We were also treated to the wonderful story-telling of Martyn. More Here
