We are excited that we will be able to offer the Godly Play program this Fall, to pre-school and elementary age children at the Sunday School hour at 8:45 AM.

Godly Play is an imaginative approach to Sunday School developed by the Rev. Jerome Berryman, an Episcopal Priest.  It is an interpretation of Montessori religious education and is an approach that supports, challenges, nourishes and guides children in their spiritual quest. In Godly Play, a special environment is prepared for children to work with adult guides. 

Several members of the parish have taken the Godly Play training at workshops St. Paul’s Episcopal Church workshops.  We welcome volunteers to participate in opportunities to learn about this wonderful program!

Funding to get the program started and obtain the necessary materials has come from the Pat Christensen Memorial Fund. 

 

The new Sunday School curriculum is in place, the youth program is full of exciting stuff, and the adult education has engaging material to study! Come and help kick off the new program year with a potluck lunch after the service at 10:00 AM on Sunday, September 12th.
