Our Easter Messy Church on Thursday 7th April will be Lego Church, which was originally planned for two years ago until you-know-what came along and scuppered our plans.

The session will run from 3.15 to 5.15 p.m. and there will be craft and cooking as well as the Lego activity. New families and new helpers are welcome.

You are invited to join us for Messy Church again on:

Thursday 3rd February
Thursday 3rd March
Thursday 7th April.

Sessions will run from 3.15 to 5.15 p.m. and there will be crafts, music, worship and a simple meal. New families and new helpers are welcome.

I’m sure we all agree that 2020 was a very unusual year, with normal church activities suspended because of Covid-19. Mount Charles Church found one way to offer worship in line with the restrictions by holding some drive-in services in the church car park. You can now view photos from these services on the “Drive-In Worship 2020” page of this website.

We are holding a Nativity Open Church on Saturday 19th December. The church will be open from 10 a.m. until 12 noon so that people can come and see the nativity scene, crib, prayer tree and Christmas tree.

Our drive-in worship on Sunday 11th October will be a Harvest Festival celebration led by Rev Graham Thompson, Chair of the Plymouth and Exeter District. There will be a bin provided for our gifts of tins or packets for the Food Bank, which we can use as we arrive. A Retiring Collection for All We Can (the Methodist relief and development charity) Harvest Appeal will be taken as we leave. To book a place, please contact Liz Burroughs dreab@talktalk.net or 871211. Spaces are filling up fast – so don’t delay.

We will be holding drive-in worship again tomottow (27th September) in the car park at 10.30 a.m. To book a place for a car or a pedestrian, please contact Liz Burroughs (01726 871211 or dreab@talktalk.net).

The next drive-in worship will be on 11th October and will be a Harvest Festival celebration.

We will be holding worship in the church car park on Sunday 30th August at 10.30 a.m.  Please contact Liz Burroughs to book a space (whether or not you will be in your car).  Email dreab@talktalk.net or phone 01726 871211.
