A new way of presenting the Gospel message to children has begun
around the world. We are privileged to have one of the Godly Play
centres for South Australia.
‘Godly Play’ is an imaginative approach to exploring
sacred stories with children using reflection, religious language
and silence to allow them to find meaning and to grow in faith.
Tea Tree Gully Uniting Church are the first Uniting Church in Adelaide
to commence this program each Sunday and to provide basic training
for our leaders.
‘Godly Play’ ministers to the children at their level,
where they are at in life and in faith. It allows them to explore
more freely and openly We use materials to tell the story so it is
very visual and then the children are free to choose an activity which
they use to explain the story in their way. This allows leaders to
interact with each child in regards to what the child’s questions
or comments are. Leaders have been given basic training on how it
is run and how we have implemented it in our Church.
