Children/Families
Faith Kids’ Place! resumed in September. We meet each Sunday.
“In most religious education children are told what God did. In Godly Play, children discover who God is.”
We use Godly Play as our teaching source to children at Kids’ Place, Sundays 10:50am-11:50am. This is a Montessori style of telling Bible stories, parables and liturgical action about religious traditions using simple, natural materials.
It invites the listener to connect faith stories with personal experience through wondering questions, open-ended response and silence and art.
Godly Play is used extensively with adults and children in many settings from schools to hospitals, churches to aged care facilities.
It can be a way of preparing children or adults to join fully in the worship life of their congregations.
A Godly Play room has been created at Faith Lutheran to enable people to experience Godly Play storytelling in a space that is specially created to “speak” to them, and that is beautiful and invites response.
