Children are invited to come forward each Sunday for a special message after the reading of the lessons.Sunday School: "Arise" for Godly Play
Sundays, from mid-September through mid-May, Bethlehem offers a non-traditional Sunday School program called Godly Play. This innovative learning draws on the traditions of ancient storytelling. The teachers model how to use the language of the Christian tradition through presentations of parables, sacred stories, liturgy and silence. The Godly Play classroom provides a space to worship God, not just speak about God. Just as adults experience the Sanctuary as sacred space, so do the children experience the Godly Play room as sacred space. For children age 3 - 5th grade. Nursery care is available for those too young to participate in Godly Play.Check out the learning opportunities for youth and adults on Sunday morning!
