Sharon Church will host “Messy Church – Listening to God” on Wednesday, May 13, from 5:30pm to 7pm at 19980 W. Pleasant Lake Road, Manchester.
Messy Church is a recurring, all-ages gathering that brings the community together for a shared meal, hands-on creative activities, music, and a brief, family-friendly worship time. The May event will focus on the Bible story of 1Samuel 3:1-10 where God calls Samuel who eventually responds, “Speak, Lord. Your servant is listening!” It will feature interactive elements designed to engage both children and adults. The dinner menu is Taco salad and hot dogs along with fruit and desert.
Unlike a traditional church service, Messy Church emphasizes participation, creativity, and fellowship across generations. The goal is to provide a welcoming space where families and individuals of all ages can explore faith together in an informal setting.
The event is free and open to the community. Those planning to attend are asked to register by May 10 to assist with meal preparation. Registration is available at: https://sharongmchurch.breezechms.com/form/MessyChyurch133
In April, a grandmother shared it is wonderful encouragement for her son’s family who find it hard to get to church on Sunday. They love to come all together for an easy dinner and fun, engaging activities! An elderly couple who used to lead children’s programs said they love to come and help and not have the full load of preparation for a full class!
