Godly Play Needs Your Help!

Gearing up for Sunday School 2010/2011

For the past year we have been using Godly Play material for our younger Sunday School class. It has been so much fun watching the way the children respond to this material. They love the stories and the visual of watching it unfold. But even better yet is the way they interact with the sets during thier "work" time. The material we have from last year only repersents a part of the year. To have a full year of material we need to order additional sets.  There is a display in the Parish Hall for to see the wonderful quality of the materials and how much we need to purchase these items. Please feel free to donate for a full set or any amount towards the total. You may give your donation by placing in into the offering (marked "Godly Play"), by handing it to Fr. Ben on Sunday, or by taking it into the office during the week. Thank You for your support!
