Godly Play
During the Sunday 11:00 am service, children ages 3 to 9 are encouraged to participate in our Godly Play program. Younger children are welcome in the nursery, and older children are invited to serve as Acolytes in the worship service.
Godly Play is a Montessori-based method of Biblical Storytelling. In each session, the children hear a sacred story, parable or liturgical lesson and respond to open-ended questions that invite them to wonder about what they have just heard. The children engage in art or imaginative play as they continue to explore the meaning of the story. Their time together concludes with a feast, during which the children offer prayers of thanksgiving and concern as they share a snack.
We are experimenting with offering Godly Play at the 8:30 am service on the first Sunday of the month. On these days, Godly Play will also take place as usual at 11:00 am.
To learn more about Godly Play or other opportunities for children, please speak with the Assistant Minister, the Rev. Ginger Strickland.
