Godly Play on Sundays and Wednesdays
Children today experience as “normal” challenges that were unimaginable to many of us in our youth: the increased violence on television and on our streets, the high rates of divorce and remarriage, the rapid and destabilizing pace of technological change. We ourselves are frequently bewildered and frightened by the world we live in; imagine how unsettling it must be to children.
Setting aside a regular time to be still in the presence of God and to learn the stories of faith is essential to a child who needs a sense of being surrounded and upheld by God’s love. Among the things we can offer in Godly Play, our Sunday Church School program for children ages 3 through 3rd grade, are the stories of the Bible and the religious traditions that have sustained people’s spirits for generations. These stories are a means by which children can learn to cope with the anxieties generated by the world around them. And they will be able to take comfort in a growing awareness of the long history of God’s loving presence. Our Godly Play classrooms are always open to new students. Bring a child you know to Godly Play, held every Sunday morning at 9:45 and Wednesday night at 6:00. For more information, contact Marie Monroe
