In October, we're combining Messy Church with Bentley's Live@5 Harvest Festival!

Looking forward to it!
The Messy Church Team
Live@5 is back!
If you've never been to a Live@5 before, it's our more relaxed and informal time of worship, prayer and learning from the Bible. We've shaken things up a bit and each week we have something different to offer - all services are in person.
Bentley church, 4:30pm refreshments for 5pm start.
Week 1 - Holy Communion
Week 2 - Big Praise
Week 3 - iPad (still in person!)
Week 4 - YumYum (starts at 5pm)
A brand new youth club!
We're really excited to launch four:twelve! This is for young people in school years 5-10, meeting every other Friday evening in Bentley school hall.
There will be fun and games, sweets, competitions, quizzes, film nights, seasonal specials and more!
Register your interest by contacting Gemma - gemma@benbinfro.co.uk, or call 01420 23339 for the church office.
Got questions?
Youth Alpha is the perfect place for anyone in year 8+ to ask those burning questions about life, faith, the universe and everything.
Starting on Sunday 26th September - 6:30 - 8pm
A meal will be provided! (Of course there is food involved...)
In November there will also be a weekend away! (Okay we will likely be sleeping in the church, but it's still away from home.) We will have activities and treats lined up for the weekend, as we tackle a crucial part of the Youth Alpha course.
Binsted's Wednesday Prayers are back IN PERSON!
1st Wednesdays of the month:
6th October
3rd November
1st December
We'll be meeting at Holy Cross Binsted but if you don't yet feel comfortable meeting in person, you can still join us through Zoom.
Join us to pray for Binsted Parish.
We would love for you to join us for our Monday morning Benefice prayer meeting on Zoom.
We follow a simple pattern of liturgy, reading Scripture, discussion and prayer to set us up for the week ahead.
