Messy Church at Paignton is a very popular activity aimed at primary age
children and their families. We start with a communal light breakfast at
9.30am in the downstairs Cross Link Centre. At around 10.00am we go
upstairs to the Activity Hall for several craft activities on the day’ s theme.
At around 10.45am we join together for a short service including songs, a
story, a Big Question, and a memory verse. We finish at around 11.10
pm.
Paignton Baptist Church’s next Messy Church is on:
Saturday February 15th at 9.30am
We would be delighted to see you!
Please can you book-up so that we can reserve a place for you?
There is a nominal charge of 50p per person payable at the door.
Thank you!

Coffee Mornings. Your home from home at the Paignton Baptist Church Coffee Mornings happens on Friday mornings. We are open from 10.00 to 11.30 or so, Coffee, tea, soft drinks, biscuits and cake are available. There is also a puzzle table, for those who would like to have a quiet go at a jig-saw puzzle. All refreshments are free, so come along and make new friends in a relaxed environment in our Cross Link Centre. There is a basket for donations to charity, but there is no obligation or pressure to put in anything.
Boys' Brigade. For various reasons the times have changed. NEW TIMES: 6.30 pm - 7.45 pm for ALL AGES (i.e., from age 5 to 18). Older Boys can stay for an extra half an hour. Numbers are low, so there is plenty of room for more Boys. Please come or tell families with Boys in the age range from five upwards. Don't forget that Girls are welcome at Girls' Brigade on Mondays from 5.50 pm. For further information, see the brigade entry in the "What's On" section of this website.
Paignton Community Larder
Donations can be handed in at services or prayer meetings, or any other time if you have a church key. Those without church keys are invited to pass items in between 12 noon and 2 pm, Mondays to Thursdays at the PCL. Items will be delivered to the Larder first thing on Monday mornings. All contributions are gratefully received.
Many thanks for the generous donations I delivered this morning, Andy was most grateful as apparently they had to go out last week and purchase most items of stock which had run low or even out!
This week they have requested donations of cereals, fish, pasta, savoury rice, tinned meals, tinned meat, and UHT milk.
Please donate as you are led especially as stocks will be run low this week with children on half term. God bless you in your generosity to those in need.
Cash Donations
Please note that the church is being charged for cash banking when this exceeds £2000 per month (which is nearly all months). All the amount is charged for, including the first £2000. The bank also charge for cheques in a similar way, but we receive fewer of these, so cheques instead of cash would be welcome. However, all donations, by whatever method, are very much appreciated. (On-line transfer or standing order direct to the bank do not attract any charge.) Please ask about Gift Aid, or to receive details of the church's bank account.
