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 [...]

and now, back by popular demand…the Quiet Garden

Well, after what feels like a long hiatus (plus a step forward and one-and-a-half back!), Terwillegar’s Quiet Garden is back on track.  An anonymous donor (both a local community resident and a parishioner at HTR) donated some monies to get things going, and momentum has already started.  An enthusiastic crew shared coffee and cinnamon buns (from [...]

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 [...]

Final instalment of the Living 101 series

This Saturday sees the last in our year-long series of community information sessions provided for our neighbours at HTR.

A local interior decorator will be talking to us about kitchen and bath renovations and answering all your questions.  We will get going at 1:30 with a meal, and then move on to the presentation by about 2:15.

Hope [...]

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 [...]
