Messy Church
Messy Church
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.
Have yourselves a Messy little Christmas…
Angels were made (and in many cases eaten), tails were pinned on donkeys, stars shone in the sky, sheep roamed the room, lights shone and mysterious boxes were opened as Messy Church in December did all kinds of stuff following the Christmas story. And we remembered that Christmas is a story of God caring so much for us that he came to live life beside us. This was a great session with lots of people and a lovely relaxed feel.
We’ll be aiming to repeat the mood with another Messy Church on Saturday 10 January 2026, focusing on a man ignored by everyone – except Jesus.
A great time for families, and everybody’s welcome at 4.00 p.m. in the Jubilee Room at Christ Church.
Please contact The Revd. Andrew Pearson and Sheena Pearson for further details – rev.a.m.pearson@btinternet.com
Can you spare some snowdrops for our Churchyard?
Snowdrops are synonymous with Churchyards.
They symbolize Hope, the Coming of Spring, life
re-awakening after the Spring, and are associated
with Candlemas, the festival celebrated 40 days
after Christmas. Sadly, we do not have any
Snowdrops in our Churchyard so we would like to
plant some near the pathway leading to and from
the Church to the Church Room. Snowdrops are
best planted ‘in the green’ i.e, when they have just
flowered as they are dying down.
We are proposing a planting morning, Saturday,
28 February, from 10am to 12 noon. Please
bring your snowdrops to the Churchyard if you can
and would like to plant them. If you are unable to
do that, a container will be outside Cranley
Cottage, Stonards Brow, Shamley Green GU5
0UY, to leave your Snowdrop bulbs in, from
Saturday 21 February. If you would like to donate
but need help to dig up your snowdrops, please
contact Alison Harding through the contact details
below.
Please help us to enhance our Eco Churchyard in the winter months. Thank you.

Newcomers Party 2026
Our village church, Christ Church, holds an Annual Newcomers Party in the Arbuthnot Hall where representatives of the various village groups and societies gather on Shrove Tuesday over pancakes and wine to welcome those who have moved to Shamley Green and Rowly during the year, providing an excellent platform to meet other villagers. The party will be held on Tuesday, February 17 at 8pm in the Arbuthnot Hall.
Please let me know if you are new, or know someone else who is new to the village who would like an invitation.
