Synopsis

In this book Lucy Moore, the pioneer of Messy Church, explores the Christian principle of hospitality. She addresses the theology of hospitality and how it can be expressed at the welcome table, the activity table, the Lord's Table, the meal table, and in the home. Also included is learning from the secular hospitality industry, how to train Messy Church teams in hospitality, and five session plans for Messy Churches. Each section contains audit-style questions for the reader to apply in their own context.

About this title

About the Author

Lucy Moore is the founder of Messy Church, a rapidly-growing ministry that is now in over 20 countries worldwide. She is responsible for developing the work of Messy Church nationally and internationally―writing, speaking, reflecting and developing Messy projects. Before working full-time with Messy Church, Lucy was a member of BRF’s Barnabas children’s ministry team, offering training for those wanting to bring the Bible to life for children in churches and schools across the UK, and using drama and storytelling to explore the Bible with children herself. Her books include titles in the Messy Church series, as well as AllAge Worship, Colourful Creation, Bethlehem Carols Unpacked, The Lord’s Prayer Unplugged and The Gospels Unplugged. She also presents Messy Church: the DVD. A secondary-school teacher by training, she enjoys acting, walking Minnie the dog, marvelling at the alien world of her two teenage children and guiltily watching unimproving television programmes. She is a Lay Canon of Portsmouth Cathedral.
