Messy Church at Ghent UMC* Families and individuals of all ages are invited to attend our monthly Messy church on Sun., Mar. 13, 4:30 - 6 p.m., in our fellowship hall! Messy Church is "Church, but not as you know it!" It is Christ-centered and based on creativity, hospitality, and celebration. This includes hands-on, interactive crafts and activities, and a brief worship time with lively music from our own musicians! Our theme will be Justice for All based on the Bible story about Naboth’s vineyard from 1 Kings 21. This story challenges us to examine how we respond to injustice in the world and reminds us that forgiveness is part of God’s justice. For our meal, we will have a Chili Cookoff! Messy Church attendees will be asked to vote for their favorite chili. The winner gets a trophy and bragging rights for the year! Cornbread will be served with the chili, and kid friendly food will also be served.
