Godly Play

Godly Play is an approach to Christian formation that enables children to experience the presence of a loving God and discover how to speak the language of their biblical faith. The goal is to teach children the art of using religious language; parable, sacred story, silence, and liturgical action to help them become more fully aware of the mystery of God’s presence around them and in their lives.

Three-year-olds through Kindergarten meet in the Blue Room with Heather Roumaya, Michelle Reed, Charles Eyre and Elizabeth Trupiano.

First Grade through Third Grade meet in the Purple Room with Amy Wooten, Beverly Brock, Karen Burns and Rain Valente.
