Philadelphie Methodist Church in St Peter already run 'messy church' activities for children

CHILDREN are being encouraged to get creative at two new activities groups based on Christian principles.

Creative Kids is a new Methodist initiative and there will be sessions every Thursday after school at Ebenezer Methodist Church and after school on Mondays at St Aubin Methodist Church.

The seven-week programmes will be run by youth workers, childcare professionals and a practising artist who works closely with young people in the Methodist Church.

Both groups start next week and cost £15 for the seven weeks. The sessions run from 4 pm until 5.15 pm on both days and are aimed at children in school Years 3 to 6.
