This will be a Fall Themed Messy church. There will be story, scripture, song, crafts, and of course fellowship and fun!
We will start outside (if it is raining...it will all be in the gym) in the north parking lot at 11:00 AM with a song or two, a story, and a scripture reading. After that we will move inside for some crafts. There will still be no shared meal...the hope is that in January the new year will allow us to eat together. Outside masks are not required but inside they are.
This Sunday, September 12 is our next Messy Church at First United Methodist Church of Downers Grove. We will have a special outdoor messy church in Fishel Park (just north of the church parking lot). It will start around 11:00 AM and will include a few simple outdoor crafts, a story, and a picnic lunch. We will start with the story about 11:15 and look to eat at about noon.
For the lunch you can bring you own food or you can fill out this online form to order Jimmy Johns. Don't forget a blanket or chairs to sit on for the picnic lunch.
