Godly Play Is Introduced!

Pastor Angela Freeman and Linda Miller, director of the Sunday school programming were recently trained as facilitators for the Sunday school programing called, Godly Play. Godly Play was developed by Jerome Berryman and continues to be an effective and creative curriculum for students of all ages.

The program is a Montessori style of learning encouraging the participants to ask questions and learn Bible stories in an intimate way. The photo below is of Linda introducing the Christmas story on the Second Sunday after Christmas. This telling of the story is a “soft” introduction of Godly Play. LCH will be slowly building up of its resources as well as materials for the program.

You’re invited to participate in the telling of the story of the Mystery of Baptism which will be offered directly after the 10:30 am worship this Sunday, January 12. The story will be told in the Rainbow Room.

You could also experience a Godly Play story being told on Sunday, February 23 as the sermon for both the 8:00 am and 10:30 am services that day.
