Auto Draft

We hope that all our followers are well and plans and preparation for the school year are moving along well.

Tomorrow, we’ll be at HTR in the afternoon making garlic and oregano crisps for dipping.  Can I suggest that we all bring our favourite dips?!  We’ve already accepted an offer to make guacamole, so we need hummous, [...]

Our next Fruit of the Spirit is ‘Gentleness’ and we’ll have the usual fab lesson and craft.

Now, as for foodstuffs… since it’ll be so warm, let’s spend some time outdoors on the lawn!  We’ll rely on Owen from Prairie Mill’s marvellous and award-winning bread and bring sandwich fillings for a picnic – [...]

As the weather finally improves, we move on to our next Fruit of the Spirit: Faithfulness.

For dinner, we’ll make home-made falafels.  Hummus, pita, and good ‘n’ wholesome falafel mix are coming courtesy of Clare and HTR, so we need the Messy-community to bring tomatoes, feta, cucumbers, a couple of lemons, and dessert!  Yummy!

Everyone’s welcome and we [...]

Patiently Chopping ourselves into the Kingdom of God

Hope you’re all enjoying the weather and the subsequent storms that cool things off and water the grass (mine is actually green this year!).  It was fabulous to have such a great turn-out last week – some returning after long absences, and other faces that grow brighter as we see them week-to-week!  Hooray for MW!

We’re on [...]

Skewering ‘Peace’ at the next Messy Wednesday



It was really great to see so many of you last week for ‘Joy’!  This week we’re on to ‘Peace’.  So, instead of making bombs, we’re making flowers – this week’s craft will be creating our own seed balls for planting.  Great fun and a great idea, yet again, from Ginette – our Messier-in-chief!

For dins, we’ll [...]

Sandwiches went down just fine on Messy Weds

Our friend Owen over at Prairie Mill Bakery in Terwillegar came through again with beautiful loaves of bread – all donated to the cause.  Toppings aplenty made sure there were no two sandwiches alike in the whole big gathering. 

The young and old among us learned lots about ‘Joy’ – the second fruit of the Spirit – [...]

Messy Wed sarnie surprise

Tomorrow we’re taking up a suggestion from many of our attendees – we’ll be making our own sandwiches.  We’ll grab a couple more loaves from our great friend and supporter Owen over at Prairie Mills so that those who come along only need bring toppings.

Lesson time will be a continuation of our series on the fruits [...]

Smashing records at Messy Weds!

Tonight saw 43 people cooking, chopping, and chatting in the big warm basement at HTR – a new Messy Wednesday record.  We saw lots of new faces and made lots of new friends!

The build-your-own pizzas were a hit with young and old, and the craftiness of Erik was on display again as he helped the children [...]

Pizza and fruit for Messy Wednesday on the 9th of June

And another special request means that we’ll be doing create-your-own pizza night this week.  We’ll assemble and bake them fresh again.  Probably a good thing to be downstairs with warm ovens ‘cos it looks like rain!

Holy Trinity will supply the pizza bases as well as 3 types of sauce (regular pizza sauce, green pesto, and red [...]

Ham-it up at Messy Wednesday on the 2nd of June!

Hello everybody!

Dan is doing up his famous pulled pork and buns this week…….yum!  So various sides of veggies and what-not are welcome

We’ll be making our own wrapping paper, and something to put inside too — so the kids can have a present to give away to someone special.
We’ll be starting a half-hour early again [...]
