Godly Play is a method of Christian education and spiritual direction with the goal 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 in their lives. This experience of children and worship is a way for the teacher and the child to grow in love for God and for one another. It uses sensorimotor style storytelling as a primary means for encountering God, so God is experienced, not just learned about. It gives appropriate freedom, so young children can respond to stories of God through continued working with the story figures and art materials.

It enables young children to bring their lived experiences into dialogue with God in the biblical stories. And, remarkably, it provides a way for young children to tell the stories of God to others.

Fall through Spring at 9 a.m. in the Godly Play room of Bldg. 2
