Our next Messy Church gathering will be Friday, June 20th - join us from 4:30pm - at Holy Trinity, Pembroke.

Messy Church is an interactive and intergenerational experience that combines faith, food, and fun.

We will begin downstairs in the Church Hall with an opening story, activities, games and crafts, a time of celebration (songs and prayer), and finish with sharing a meal (one that is completely prepared for you!). 

All are welcome! There are activities for all ages and stages. Come be fed and nourished physically and spiritually!

Bring your curiosity and wiggles, and join in the fun as we gather together as families of all shapes, sizes, and ages from across the parish.

St. Paul’s Cobden is pleased to support The Big Give again this year.

It will be held Saturday, June 7th from 9am to 12pm (43 Astrolabe Rd, Cobden).
