Messy Church Messy church happens in the Wilkinson Church Hall on the last Friday of every month from 3.30pm - 5.30pm and is open to everyone from babes in arms to grannies and grandpas. Each Messy church revolves around a biblical theme and involves all sorts of messy crafts in the Wilkinson Hall, followed by a short act of worship in church (story, song and prayer).
