Our Godly Play class is open to all 3-year-olds through 5th graders. It meets beginning at 9.15 am on Sundays.
This fall we will be focusing our explorations on some of the amazing lives of the Christian tradition: Biblical figures such as Joseph and Ruth, and historical holy men and women such as Patrick of Ireland and Teresa of Calcutta.
Godly Play "shows children how to create meaning with wondering questions arising from the Christian language system. The parables are especially useful to stimulate the creative process, but the sacred stories and the liturgical action lessons are also needed to provide a place of safety to explore from and return to. Contemplative silence celebrates the wholeness of the relationship with God, which is more than language can articulate."
