Sharon Church will host “Messy Church – Gather At the Table” on Wednesday, November 11, from 5:30pm to 7pm, at 19980 W Pleasant Lake Rd, 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 November gathering will explore how Jesus gathered with others around the table to share bread and cup and taught love, remembrance, and thankfulness. Activities will include a table-setting relay, decorating candles, a memory game, and more! The dinner menu will include chicken noodle soup, veggies, roll, and more.

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. Come join people from 90+ years on down to first-time explorers feasting and smiling in discovery and worship.

The event is free and open to the community. Those planning to attend can register at: https://sharongmchurch.breezechms.com/form/MessyChurch-Nov112026

Sharon Church is a Global Methodist congregation serving the Manchester area and is committed to providing opportunities for worship, fellowship, and outreach within the community.
