Godly Play is an approach to religious education for children that invites children of all ages and cultures to learn to create sacred space, build and work in community, and learn religious language in a way that creates meaning for everyday living.
Godly Play is as profound for adults as it is for children.

Creation Story
A child loves to discover patterns in things. Children use brightly colored rectangles to assemble small structures. It may be that the spiritual foundations of an architect, engineer, or theologian are being established by this creative play.
Matthew Arnold once said that he gave his best effort, as a thinker and author, in the hope that some young person might find inspiration and encouragement in his example. This noble ideal informs our commitments to the life of the Church.
Godly Play for Caregivers and Tots:
Every Friday
from
9:30-11am
Priscilla Geisterfer offers a space where caregivers and their tots can deepen their faith through Godly Play, an approach to telling the stories of our tradition in a way that is as profound for adults as it is for children. So come, bring the children in your care and share time and stories with others.
Come with your tots to receive spiritual nourishment, meet new people, and swap child rearing wisdom.
