Jesus told lots of stories or parables to explain some things that are hard to understand.  At messy this session our story comes from Matthew's gospel 13:44-46.  In this story we take a brief yet insightful snapshot of the kingdom of heaven.  Jesus speaks these words to convey the worth of God's kingdom.  It is indescribable, but comparable to buried treasure or valuable pearls.

The story unfolded infront of our expectant congregation, as our actors and narrator skillfully depicted the story of Hidden Treasure.  We are so blessed to have such talented and willing team members, who continually surprise me with their abilities.

I think our opening welcome and theme introduction (everything has a value) was so much fun.  The congregation was split into two teams, who then had to guess the price of several items, the team nearest the correct price was the winner of that round. Red snakes all round, well done.
