Godly Play – Sunday School for our children ages four to pre-teen is on the second and fourth Sundays in conjunction with our 10am service. Children begin in Church with their families, leave for Godly Play after the Collect and return to share Holy Communion with their families. Godly Play takes place in the Upper Room and is led by Kati, Zoe, Kate, and Diana.
What is Godly Play?
The result of a lifetime of research and practice by theologian, author and educator, Rev. Dr. Jerome Berryman, the Godly Play® method is a curriculum of spiritual practice for children exploring the mystery of God’s presence in our lives. The Godly Play curriculum engages what is most exciting about religious education: God inviting us into—and pursuing us during—Scripture and spiritual experience. Godly Play® practice teaches us to listen for God and to make authentic and creative responses to God’s call in our lives.
