The Messy Church kicked off with an icebreaker activity, where everyone could get to know each other and make new friends and connections.

Following the icebreaker, there are three different activity stations for split groups of three, such as Christian-related arts and crafts. After the three activity stations, they will gather together to listen to Christian music on the piano and sing along.
