One popular ministry throughout the diocese is Messy Church. Messy Church is a relaxed and informal church with a warm welcome for the whole family with crafts, songs, drama, food - and plenty of opportunity to have fun and make a mess! It's a great space for mums, dads, grandparents, children and grandchildren.
This video made for Diocesan Synod in 2012 talks about the development of Messy Church ministry at the parish of All Saints in Ladner.
