Messy Church

Messy Church logo In recent years, our Mission and Outreach has included some successful Messy Church events where children and their families have been able to learn about the Bible in a fun, creative and interactive way. Messy Church has proved very popular with the wider community. It has been such a success that Messy Church is now held most months, either in Bellie Church Hall or elsewhere in our parish. Watch this space - all Messy Church dates are posted on our Facebook page.

Bellie Babes

The Bellie Babes meet on Friday mornings in Bellie Church Hall from 9.30 am - 11.00 am. The group was set up in 2009 to allow pre school children to play, while their parents can share fellowship over a tea or coffee. The Friends of Bellie Babes, volunteers from within our congregation, provide support and encouragement to young families. All families with pre-school children welcome every Friday.

Summer Holiday Club
In the last few years, Bellie and Speymouth Parish Church has organised several very successful Summer Holiday Clubs. The recent Summer Holiday Clubs have seen over 60 primary school age children attend over five mornings thanks to a team of thirty people giving generously of their time, talents and money to host the Holiday Club. The Summer Holiday Club has also operated for the young people attending Bellie Babes and the Youth Group.

Team Romania

At Bellie and Speymouth, we see our mission as not being confined to our parish or even our country. In 2012, the congregation established links with Friendship International and a team of young people from our TGIS group, supported by adult volunteers, undertook a mission trip to a Friendship International camp in Romania to work with children from a nearby orphanage.

Team Romania

A life changing experience for our young people, this mission work was such a great success that further teams from our congregation returned to Romania in Summer 2015 and Summer 2018.

Cosy Cafe takes place in Bellie Church Hall on Monday mornings between 10.00 am and 12 noon.
