GODLY PLAY: The Sunday School at Trinity is using a story telling technique called Godly Play. Godly Play is based upon the recognition that children have an innate sense of the presence of God. Godly Play provides children with a language to help them identify and express their spirituality so it can be explored and strengthened. The Godly Play approach uses story, play, ritual, and creativity to enhance the childs authentic experience of God so it can contribute to the spiritual life of the child and assist the child in making meaning in the world. Wendy Waite Snow and Elizabeth Trenholm have been trained in Godly Play and are sharing their gifts with our Sunday School classes on a rotating basis. In order to get the program off the ground there are some materials needed.
