GODLY
PLAY MINISTRY
Early gift-giving for our Children's ministry Here's a perfect chance. Godly Play, our newest program on Sunday mornings (currently Time
for Young
Disciples Part II) for children ages 4-7, will be starting this
Fall.
Godly Play is a fun way of telling Bible stories
and letting children respond creatively. A Godly Play session
involves telling a Bible story using simple but beautifully carved
wooden figures, a time for the children to reflect and comment on
the story in a non-judgmental
way, then a time for creative artwork. There are lots of 'I
wonder' questions asked
of the children and even to the teachers during Godly Play.
The figures are organized by book and lesson to enhance understanding
of the story.
There are two ways to help this ministry.
One, we would like to ask those who have wood
crafting skills to make figures for us. We are working on
set up dates for a workshop. Two,
is to purchase the wood figures with prices ranging between $4 and
$150 through Faith Alive Resources. (For more information
visit the website, www.faithaliveresources.org).
There is a Christmas tree in the church Welcome Center decorated
with Godly Play "paper" figures. Like an Angel Tree,
you may take one or two of these figures and make a donation to
purchase the real wood figures.
Example Story figures and prices are;
Noah Set - 13 Pieces, $30
Noah's Ark - 4 Pieces, $33
Moses - 1 Piece, $4
Tabernacle set - 18 Pieces, $ 134
Advent Star - 1 Piece, $ 7
Jesus Is Baptized set - 5 Pieces, $16
Jesus and Zacchaeus set - 8 Pieces, $ 20
Good Shepherd set - 21 Pieces, $46
And many more…
