Intro Text
(4 years old-4th grade)
We practice Godly Play in Church School with our elementary aged students. Godly Play is a Montessori-based Christian education curriculum where children explore the stories of the Bible and practices of the church through hands-on learning and play. Stories are told with hand-crafted materials, then children are led through a series of wondering questions followed by a period of self-directed work.
The Younger Godly Play class, for students who are 4 years old through 2nd grade, meets from 10am- 10:50 on the 4th floor in the Guild Room. This class hears the stories that make up the backbone of our faith. They dive into sacred stories, parables, and liturgical lessons, making meaning and connections at their own level.
Our Older Godly Play class, for students in 3rd and 4th grades, hears stories that extend beyond the regular ones they heard in the younger classroom. Stories of individuals, like Moses and Jonah, along with some of the harder truths about the Biblical narrative that they haven't explored before. Students are also introduced to beginning Bible study each week. This class meets from 10-10:50am each week in the Tower Room (4th floor)
We encourage students in this age range to worship with their parents or to participate in the seasonal children's choir and drama offerings, often meeting from 9-9:30am.
