Godly Play

This fabulous program helps young children ages 3 and 4 become aware of the mystery of God’s presence in their lives.

Location: Angel Lane  

WoRM

Kindergartners through 4th graders will be “Witnessing God’s Presence” this year in the WoRM. The WoRM stands for Workshop Rotation Method. It works because it is designed for children to learn the way that they love: through movement, smells, visual stimulation, feelings, drama and music. It is an approach that is welcoming and fun, yet educationally sound. We will start with Creation, Plagues and Passover, and The Incarnation during the first semester. After Christmas we will study The Lord’s Prayer, The Last Supper, and Feeding of the 5,000. Join us as we tell these important stories through drama, art, storytelling, movies and new this year, music! Volunteers are always welcome.

Classes offered Sundays from Rally Day through Confirmation Sunday

Location: Angel Lane
