Godly Play Spoken Here

Godly Play

” The Godly Play approach invites children to listen to God through Scripture and spiritual experiences and respond in their own creative and genuine way.”

During the Season of Epiphany, we focused on “People of Color Who Inspire.” This is a collection that compliments the stories of saints and reminds us that as Christians we strive for justice and respect the dignity of all human beings.

President Barak Obama, Vice President Kamala Harris, Rosa Parks, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Congressman John Lewis and Harriet Tubman are a few of the men and women of color who inspired us by the way they lived their lives in service of others. We learned how their historic accomplishments followed the teachings of Jesus to benefit the welfare of all people. And as one of our children reminded us, “Jesus was also a person of color” as were the men and women, saints and prophets we study in our sacred stories.

Our next lesson will be the story of Shadrack, Mishak, and Abednego – a favorite of our children. We’ll continue in the Season of Lent with the “Faces of Easter” – sacred stories that make the connection for children between the baby born at Christmas and the man who dies at Easter. The stories describe Jesus as a child, young man, a wonderer in the desert, revealing his work and life as the Son of God through his teaching and healing. Children of all ages are welcome to join us.
