I can never predict how many people will turn up for Messy Church on Good Friday, but this year's was the biggest ever, and everyone had fun. I never quite know what's going to happen either, and this year we had a lovely surprise in the shape of two tiny newly hatched chicks, brought by Babs Bartholomew. They didn't seem to mind being passed around a lot of children! No photos of the chicks, I'm afraid, but plenty of photos of the other things we did below.

| We made "Holy Grails" to remind us of the cup of wine Jesus shared with his friends. |
 |
| We were busy, busy, busy - loads of people came! |
 |
| Resurrection butterflies reminded us that God can change us and bring new life. |
 |
| Crosses made of milk bottle tops (and lots of glitter!) |
 |
| Colourful paper flowers to decorate the church (and to take home). |
 |
| Making the twig cross. |
We tied purple ribbons to our twig cross to symbolise our prayers of sorrow or concern, and gold ribbons for our thanksgivings.
