Godly Play

Godly Play at Grace Church is for children in grades pre-K, age 4 and Kindergarten. Godly Play teaches children the art of using religious language--parable, sacred story, silence and liturgical action--helping them become more fully aware of the mystery of God’s presence in their lives. Developed by author, teacher and Episcopal priest, Jerome W. Berryman, Godly Play is offered throughout the United States within denominations as diverse and varied as Catholic, Baptist, Episcopalian, Pentecostal, Lutheran, and Presbyterian. Designed for children ages two to twelve, Godly Play has been classroom tested since 1972. Deeply spiritual and highly creative, it is also used in schools, hospitals, homeless shelters, and retirement centers. Internationally, Godly Play classrooms are found in the United Kingdom, Finland, Germany, Canada, Tanzania, Australia, and in Spanish speaking countries. For more information use the following link:   http://www.godlyplay.org/view.php/page/about (scroll to bottom of page for a video link)
