Our Theme for the 2008-2009
school year is "The Greatest
Book." Throughout the next 12
months, we’ll discover how stories in
the Gospels— Matthew, Mark, Luke
and John— compare to each other.
We’ll dig in to the Psalms and
Beatitudes. Ever wonder just how
the Bible came to be? That
question will be explored in
September and October. What is
the greatest commandment? Find
out this year! And did you know the
Church Tells Time? You will by the
end of next summer. These are
some of the investigation
questions we’ll answer this year as
we travel with Passport to the
Promised Land. Among his
teachings was stewardship –
sharing of time, talents, and
treasurers – made much more fun
and focused with our offering
envelopes and Celebration Sunday
activities!

Godly Play
Children from kindergarten through second
grade have their own worship service, which
takes place after the Children’s Sermon.
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.
