Messy Church, Saturday, 2-4pm, seasonal events
Messy Church is St Gabriel's most relaxed and creative worship opportunity for all! Whatever your age, interest and ability there is something for you, whether you would like to take part or volunteer we would be glad to welcome you!
For the first hour we spend time sharing activities, arts and crafts that revolve around our worship theme; whether you enjoy crafting, painting, drawing, games, challenges, eating, chatting or all of these, there is something for you!
We come together for a small, relaxed all-age worship segment with a story and talk, and everyone's favourite, a song!
Then we extend our hospitality with a sharing meal of cold dishes, sandwiches, fruits, veg, meats, and snacks to be enjoyed together. (Please contact us in advance if we can cater for an allergy)
Crucially, Messy church is not: A mess (!) it is not only for children, it is not only for adults bringing children, why not come with friends or come to make new friends?
Messy Church is free to attend and we gratefully accept donations towards costs.
For more information please contact: Children and Families Ministry Coordinator: Clare Reeves stgabrielsfamilies@gmail.com

St Gabriel’s is thrilled to announce our new Junior Choir this autumn! Open to all children and young people aged 7-14, the choir will gather weekly for rehearsals after school on Fridays from 4-5 PM, beginning on 11 September 2026. Alongside our Friday rehearsals, the choir will have regular opportunities to participate in services and special events, including the Advent Christingle Service.
The Junior Choir is part of an exciting diocesan initiative to develop children’s music ministry across Redbridge. While this project is sure to enrich parish life at St Gabriel’s, we also know that music education and ensemble singing bring countless benefits to children and families. Through this project, children will receive high-quality musical training in a fun and faith-led environment. We hope our choristers will form lasting friendships, deepen their faith and involvement in the church, and develop valuable musical skills.
If you are interested in our upcoming choral programme, please visit the link below to sign up, or contact Alice with any questions (alice.belshaw@gmail.com). We hope your family will join us in this exciting new project!
