Kick-off of Godly Play starts on September 18 with a special demonstration for adults during the first half of the regular 9:30 service. Come and see how Godly Play engages our innate spirituality and nourishes the use of religious language to make meaning from Biblical Stories through the Creative Process. In lieu of readings and a sermon, the congregation will proceed to the fellowship hall to experience a sample lesson.
Classes start Sunday, September 25 at 9:30 a.m.
The program will continue through the school year with a break over Christmas and other school holidays. Parents do not attend Godly Play, but two adults are always present.
For parents of little ones: We also have a nursery in the Coach House with a TV broadcasting the service in case you have a fussy little one and feel you need to step out and don’t want to miss the sermon. But even if your little one is a bit fussy — that’s okay, we love children!
