Around 45 children and 33 adults from Latchingdon came together to build Noah’s boat from cardboard, during an activity day organised by the Messy Church.

The church, set up in October last year, promotes creative time for children to explore biblical themes through getting messy.

Luckily the rain held off during the get-together on Monday August 10, so the children lined up two-by-two as they entered the ark with their toy animals after learning about Moses.

The day ended with a picnic.
