Plan A Visit Service times, what to expect upon your first visit, and directions to First UMC

 

We believe that kids should have a hands-on and fully engaged experience at church every single week - and at Godly Play we make this a priority.  During the first hymn of the 11:00am worship service, children in Kindergarten through Fifth Grade are  invited to join the Godly Play Leader at the back of the sanctuary to go and participate in Godly Play. Each week the children hear a different story, told with the use of  beautifully crafted materials, and then are invited to explore the story through hands-on play, art work, and “I wonder” questions. After each story is told, the children are asked to “wonder” about it through a series of questions that begin with the words, “I wonder...”  Its hands-on approach is meant to fully engage children in the stories of the Bible and the church year.
