In detail

We love the story of Jacob on the run in the desert, having made a complete mess of things at home. In January we look at how God sends him a life-changing dream just at the moment when he is arguably most lost. Angels going from heaven to earth and back on God's mission... what better way to reveal the hidden dimension of God's work?

In February we take a look at a moment when Jesus is hardly at his most gentle, but where he reveals something tough about family life and our primary place of belonging. We explore the joys and challenges of being 'family' together.

In March another challenge comes up as we celebrate Good Friday and Easter once again: can we avoid the temptation to reduce Easter to bunnies and chocolate eggs? Can we share the pivotal story of Jesus' death and resurrection with the families who come?

And in April we enjoy the amazing work of Jesus in healing a woman and raising a child from the dead. How might this healing and loving power be at work in our lives today? How powerful is Jesus? How much does he care about 'the last, the least and the lost' and which character in this account might our Messy families most identify with?
