Godly Play

What is Godly Play?

Godly Play is a method of Christian education and spiritual direction for children ages 3-12. It was developed and classroom tested for more than 20 years and is currently being used in churches of many denominations throughout the United States and Canada.  It's goal is to teach children the art of using religious language in parable, sacred story, silence, and liturgical action- to help  them become more fully aware of the mystery of God's presence in their lives.

In Godly play, we tell stories in such a way that children are encouraged to enter into the stories and relate them to their personal experience. After a Bible Story is told to the students, the storyteller and children use "wondering questions" to reflect on the story together. Then each child chooses whether to respond to story with art materials or play. The most important thing we teach in Godly Play Center is how Christian people live and work together in community. 

After the session, the children are escorted back to Middleton Hall where they may be picked up by their parents.  All children will worship with their families the first Sunday of every month.
