It is so long since we all met up at St. Cuthbert’s Messy Church and we are missing you!
So, the Messy Church Team has made an Advent Calendar, with an activity for you to do each day of Advent.
Starting on December 1st there will be craft activities, puzzles, challenges and experiments for you carry out.
We have tried to limit the materials you will need, to things you will probably have around the home, but here is a list to help you get ready. You don’t need them all straight away!
Things from the recycling bin – cardboard tubes; boxes – different sizes for stable, manger, houses etc – yogurt pots
string coloured craft paper
coloured and white card glue stick
2 wooden clothes pegs scissors
paper plate crayons – eg sharpies
lard dried fruit
bird seed – nuts pine cone ( not essential)
wool (not essential) pipe cleaner OR candy cane
oranges straw
flat stones elastic band
cotton wool paper straws
red ribbon dolly mixtures or similar
small white candle
It looks a lot, but we are sure you will be able to use your imagination and improvise for some of the tasks!
However, there is one activity in particular which we would be overjoyed to share with everyone, and that is painting a stone.
If you could
find a fairly smooth stone and either write a simple Christmas message on it
with crayon (sharpies are probably best for this), or maybe even paint/draw a
Christmas picture or symbol and come
along to the churchyard and place them in the bit of garden at the end of the
path near the main door into St. Cuthbert’s Church. We are hoping to make a Christmas
Garden and would love to have your contribution!
