Underneath the city of Rome were the Catacombs, large underground caves used as burial places. Christians would often meet in the Catacombs to worship together and tell stories. They were also good places to hide from the soldiers!

Today, we hear Ben tell the story of the Good Samaritan, a story originally told by Jesus to teach us to love and forgive our enemies. That must have been difficult living in Rome and knowing that you could be thrown to the lions if Nero got hold of you! Click here to watch today's Messy Church video, and then try retelling the story of the Good Samaritan using the pictures in your activity pack.

Keep safe,
Brenda and the Messy Church team
