GODLY PLAY (Ages 3-5)
The Godly Play class, organized around our Church pre-school curriculum, Simplicity, offers a creative and imaginative approach to learning about God and His love for us. We teach what is most exciting about religious education…GOD IS GOOD. GOD LOVES US. GOD IS ALWAYS WITH US AND FOR US and HOW WE CAN SHINE GOD'S LIGHT TO OTHERS. Our curriculum uses the Bible, Christian music, singalongs, videos, hands on activities, and chants with lots of movement.
