Our Advent Theme: A Messy Manger
What might the animals have witnessed on the night Jesus was born? At A Messy Manger, we’ll explore the story of Jesus’ birth through the eyes of the animals who may have been nearby that first Christmas. We’ll imagine what the animals might have seen and experienced as they welcomed the newborn Jesus.
Through creative activities, storytelling, music, and an intergenerational Celebration, we’ll rediscover the wonder of the Nativity and reflect on the extraordinary gift of God coming into our world in an ordinary, unexpected place. Join us for an afternoon of creativity, connection, and Christmas joy.
