Messy Church
Messy Church at Shamley Græn got off to a brilliant start for the autumn. Did you know it was to solve a Lego maze With a tilt-and-roll marble run in two Neither did we. Apart from the timed maze, you sarnple Middle Eastern in the Babylon Banquet, try and work out what you were feeling in a bag - if you were brave enough - and do several amaz'ng kinds of craft. Oh, and even if you'd never heard of Jeremiah the prophet, you t:nuld have a go at picturing him with a variety of natural materials outside, and finish up with our story and song session
The next Messy Church will be on Saturday 10th October 2026 at 4pm.
If you have not been before, Messy Church is a different way of doing church. It’s a hands-on experience for all ages with craft, stories, songs and snacks. Messy Church is for all ages and appeals particularly to families with children.
A great time for families, and everybody’s welcome.

Director of Music and Organist Rob Blythe (left) explains why this treasured instrument matters so deeply, and how the can help her sing again.

Future Dates for the Diary
Daphne Hamilton & Suzy Brooke-Jones
We were saddened to lose our great friend and former Director of Music Daphne Hamilton on 8th July and another longstanding member of our church family, and friend to many in our village, Suzy Brooke-Jones on 13th July. Suzy’s funeral will be ‘family-only’ but those who know and love her will also know that her greatest wish would be that her friends would not grieve for her but get together and share a bottle of fizz to celebrate her life and, indeed, her new life in God’s kingdom.
Like her, Daphne had no fear of death and knew she was going to join the best choir ever.
The October 2026 edition of the Parish Magazine is now available to view.
