Godly Play Spoken Here!
“Godly Play” is a term coined by Jerome Berryman to describe an approach to children’s spiritual formation that is based on creating a sacred space in which to present the stories of our faith, wonder about them together, and then allow the children open-ended opportunities to enter the story on their own terms. Here at First UMC you will find Godly Play being used with all ages!
Sunday School
Sunday School is offered for all ages at 9:45A.M. throughout the school year.
9:45 A.M.
3, 4, and 5 year olds are invited to Godly Play, where the children and Storyteller enter into the stories of our faith, share in the wondering, and explore the story through the response of their choice.
Kindergarten-6 th graders are involved in Power Xpress, a curriculum using many different Stations over several weeks to study a Bible passage or story: Cooking, Storytelling, Video, Art, Games, and Science. Our themes for this semester are Noah’s Ark, Joseph, and Christmas Messengers.
