Godly Play Friday Morning - Parables of Jesus
Time: Fri 10:00AM
Venue: Kids
Style: Storytelling
Content Type: Children's Program (ages 3-12)
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 morning we will immerse ourselves into the Parable of the Good Shepherd (Matthew 18:12-14, Luke 15:1-7, John 10, Psalm 23) and the Parable of the Mustard Seed (Matthew 24:32, Mark 4:30-32, Luke 13:18-19).
*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.
Children can stay for the full morning session, or be picked up during the natural break between sessions from 10:50-11:00.
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.
