Godly Play
Children from preschool through first grade have their own worship service,
which takes place after the Children’s Sermon during the school year. Known as
Godly Play, it is Montessori-based worship education that recognizes that
children have the potential to experience God in deep and meaningful ways.
The goal is to encourage that potential through the telling of Bible stories and
allowing children to work with the story materials. Leaders, Greeters and children
worship together utilizing song, sign language, artwork, and prayer as responses
to God’s love. Godly Play is very structured with an order of service following
that of traditional worship including a feast (communion) on the first Sunday of
each month. Godly Play is structured specifically for younger children’s
developmental stages.

God has blessed us so in so many ways, but how can we share these blessings
with others? This month in Sunday school we will focus on the joy of sharing our
Time, Talents and Treasures. Kids will have a chance to explore how even as
children they have much to share. Patti Friend will teach the kids about sharing
their time as they make soup together for the Night Ministry. Jeanine Buttimer will
explore sharing talents as kids make baptism and sympathy cards as well as
artwork for the bulletin. Susan Zander will discuss sharing our treasures as the
kids explore giving opportunities through the Heifer International website.
