MESSY COOKS – the handbook for everyone involved in messy Church catering teams! A treasure store of practical & easy-to-prepare recipes for all the Messy Church events you are planning.
Eating together offers hospitality and welcome, sharing food is also biblical. It allows people the chance to engage with others, develop relationships and perhaps discuss all that’s been happening at Messy Church.
‘It’s the best bit – eating with my friends’ (from a 4-yr old)
‘It’s always yummy’ (from a 7-yr old)
‘I don’t have to cook when we get home’ (from a relieved mum)
