Dee and Dave Mable, coordinators

Children in the elementary grades participate in Godly Play, a distinctive approach to Christian ministry with children.  Based on the Montessori method of learning, the goal of Godly Play is to teach children the act of using religious language – parable, sacred story, silence and liturgical action – to help them become more fully aware of the mystery of God’s presence in their lives. 

Godly Play is a discovery method that engages the whole child – hands, heart, mind, senses, and intuition.  Using a careful telling of scripture stories, engaging story figures, and a variety of creative activities, children are encouraged to seek and find their own answers to their faith questions.  This unique approach to religious education invites children to wonder about themselves, God, and the world in a way that is playful and meaningful to them.
