Godly Play Camp 2014 is just around the corner!  We are excited to set up our room again with new stories and creative responses!  Godly Play Camp is August 5th-8th from 6:00-8:00pm for children ages 4 years though entering 6th grade.  This camp is an expansion of our school year children's worship program.

At Godly Play Camp, your child will:
  • get ready
  • experience a story
  • explore the story with questions "I wonder ...?"
  • respond to the story with a free choice of creative experience. 
  • enjoy a simple shared feast.

What is Godly Play?
In most religious education children are told what God did.
In Godly Play children discover who God is.

Godly Play is a Montessori method of telling Bible stories, developed by Jerome Berryman, using parables, sacred stories and liturgical lessons about religious traditions using simple materials.

It invites the listener to connect faith stories with personal experience through wondering questions and open-ended response. 

The goal of Godly Play is to show how to be open to the Holy Spirit, The Creator, and the Redeemer all at once and all the time in every place. To achieve this goal is to help children become deeply rooted as Christians and yet at the same time use this powerful language and community to be open and creative.

 

If you have any questions about Godly Play Camp, please call or email me!  We are excited about what our kids will experience in these four nights!

 


in His grace,
