Messy Church
Messy Church meets up every few months for an afternoon of Messy Church – a time for children of different ages & their parents, grandparents & carers to come together, hear a Bible story or theme and explore it through crafts, storytelling, music & lots of fun – finishing with refreshments together.
Our next Messy Church is On Sunday 12th March 3-5pm in Athelstaneford Village Hall. All families warmly welcome.
Fair Trade stall is available at special events.

The church also houses the Nigel Tranter exhibition.
