Godly Play

Godly Play is a national Sunday school program based upon the recognition that children have an innate sense of the presence of God. All they lack is the appropriate language to help them identify and express it so it can be explored and strengthened. The Godly Play approach teaches classical Christian language in a way that enhances the child’s authentic experience of God so it can contribute to the creative life of the child and the world. After the celebration of the Eucharist at Christ Church, the children eagerly descend the stairs to the bright and cheerful Godly Play room for the morning’s lesson. It is both reverent and fun, with a lot of creativity and everyone’s participation. Recently the group enthusiastically created and played a board game called “The Plagues of Ancient Egypt” – complete with toads and boils!
