September 16, 2020 Family is the single most important influence in a child's life. We are here to help you in your journey.

Dear Families, Sunday School returns this Sunday at 9:00 a.m., and we couldn't be more excited and anxious to see you all! There will be plenty of time for sharing! We'd love to hear about your summer, new pets, beginning school and new friends! Check out the video below to see an amazing Godly Play video about the Circle of the Church Year. You will love it, and lots of you will remember it!

What is Godly Play? Godly Play is what Jerome Berryman calls his interpretation of Montessori religious education. It is an imaginative approach to working with children, an approach that supports, challenges, nourishes and guides their spiritual quest. Godly Play assumes that children have some experience of the mystery of the presence of God in their lives, but that they lack the language, permission and understanding to express and enjoy that in our culture. (The Complete Guide to Godly Play, Jerome W. Berryman) Godly Play today is used with all ages, (toddlers - older adults) including those with special needs and Alzheimer’s disease. It is the language of the people of God and is used throughout the world in a variety of languages and denominations. We use Godly Play in our Sunday School sometimes.
