Opening Night Review

On February 7th, the Messy Church had a wonderful opening night where the kids got to do paint a heart by mixing brown, green, and yellow or play a game of Organize the Smarties.  The performance featured musial numbers like Old Mc Donald's Farm, and Johnny Appleseed.  To wrap up the evening, a pasta dinner served with garlic bread.  If you find Church Boring, come out to the Messy Church.
