This Sunday: Godly Play
This Sunday is our Godly Play service – a contemplative and “innovative method of faith formation for childhood and beyond. Godly Play allows participants to experience faith-building stories through intentional storytelling and imaginative wondering.” We will begin with an activity, hear a Gospel story (“Jesus Calms the Storm”), have a time for prayer and response (with art supplies!), and finish with communion. The entire service is intentionally hospitable to kids/children, and is equally meaningful for adults alike.
This Sunday: Lectio Divina
This Sunday we meet for Lectio Divina – an ancient, wonderful practice that involves repeated listening to a short Bible passage. We notice what word or phrase sticks out and converse with God about its relevance to our current life.
