Godly Play Saturday Afternoon - The Exile and Return

You are viewing a previous festival year: 2024
Venue: Kids
Description: Using Godly Play* practices, experienced facilitators will lead singing, storytelling, group wondering, and an exploration of personal responses through free choice art opportunities. On Friday afternoon we will immerse ourselves into the Sacred Story of the Exile and Return: God’s Presence with the People in Exile (2 Kings 25; 2 Chronicles 36:13−23; Ezra; Nehemiah). *Godly Play is a unique approach to spiritual formation. It does not teach about knowing God. Instead, invitations are offered for meaning-making; for connecting with God, whom you already know. Through story, open ended wondering, and deep play, Godly Play supports: exploring existential limits, making meaning from spiritual experiences, coming close to the mystery of God. Upon registration each family is assigned a unique number, to be written on their wristbands, and ONLY adults with corresponding wristband numbers will be able to pick up designated children - wristbands MUST be worn by both caregivers and children in Children’s Tent programs, for ALL drop offs and pickups. All Children’s Team members are volunteers, all of whom have undergone a recent background check process, and are required to maintain at least two-deep leadership during all program related activity.
