Churches are encouraged to make contact with those listed below to share information/experience and find out what is available to help with their individual MAP's.
If you wish to add further information to this list please email: Deanery Secretary

MESSY CHURCH (listed by area)

Drayton
St. Peter's Messy Church has been running for nearly 4 years, which originally started with a service every half term but since our Interregnum (which began in November) we now meet on the 3rd Sunday of most months. The service usually takes place at Drayton Community school. The Messy Church team is headed up by Linda Johnson, Ali Bone and Sue Icke (with refreshments provided by Cheryl and Ian Jarvis). Half a dozen families regularly attend and email/social media is used to keep in touch with them. Please contact Linda Johnson for more information.
