Paul’s Big Surprise!

Paul’s Big Surprise!

At this month’s Messy Church, we explored the powerful story of Saul’s life-changing encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus. The children acted out the story, made colourful glasses, crafted fruit faces, and even tried drawing while blindfolded!

We learned that God can open our eyes and change our hearts, just like He did for Saul. It was a joyful session full of creativity, faith, and fun—and we can’t wait to see you at the next one!
