Godly Play for Children from Pre-K to 1st Grade
Children
from Pre-K to 1st grade are invited to join our Godly Play
class. We follow the liturgical
calendar while exploring the stories in sacred space. We have a specially designed worship room where we gather to
hear the stories of God and reflect on them. Each story is carefully shared utilizing the Montessori
style materials which enable the children to watch the unfolding story. Our reflection time uses a “Wondering
model” encouraging questioning and examination of the story.
A
response activity is then shared by the group in the art room, drama room or
computer lab. The children rejoin the congregation at the Peace and participate
in the Eucharist celebration with their families.
A
carpeted space is provided in the Baptistry with coloring books and reading
material for silent sharing during the service.
The Godly Play room on the 3rd floor of the parish house is brightly decorated and has all the necessary materials for hands on learning about Bible Stories.
Many of our Godly Play participants take part in the annual Chistmas Paegent
