Photophilanthropy; Bishop of Hereford visits Leominster's Messy Church.

As part of his "Follow! Join the conversation share the journey" tour of Herefordshire, the Rt Revd Richard Frith the 105th Bishop of Hereford along with other members of the Hereford diocese visited Leominster Priory's Messy Church yesterday. Part of the focus was on the refugee crisis, the church has been a drop off centre for donations for the refugees, to help the Messy Church youngsters understand they were encouraged to make boats and little "refugees" from paper, there was also a world map where children were encouraged to stick notes saying what they had done or could do to help. Revd Frith spoke to those attending during "celebration" time where the group leader Kathy Bland told a story and invited younger members of Messy Church to ask questions of the Bishop, who also got involved in the singing and dancing later on.  There are plenty more opportunities to attend a "Follow" event with Bishop Richard including Messy Church at Withington Village Hall on Saturday 26th September at 3:30pm.
