FALL 2009An introduction for parents, teachers, and concerned adults to this exceptional and effective children’s curriculum.
October 31, 2009, from noon to 3:30 pm
Mullica Hill Meeting HouseGodly Play®, created by Episcopal priest Jerome Berryman, opens the way for Friends to teach Bible stories using a method that embodies the Quaker idea of continuing revelation, supports multiple perspectives on a story, encourages silence as a tool within storytelling, and honors the diversity of ways the spirit works within each person. Friends adopted the Godly Play® approach to also teach children about our Quaker faith and practice, creating a powerful new curriculum called “Faith & Play.”
Find out about this unique approach to spiritual instruction—its theories, applications and results—by experiencing firsthand a full Godly Play® lesson.
Find out if you would like to have your children experience Godly Play® at FDS—perhaps once a month—by a trained Godly Play® facilitator.
Find out if you yourself would like to take the training, which is available through Friends General Conference and/or the Godly Play® Foundation.
Meanwhile, it’s Halloween! Concurrent with the program for adults will be a program for young people from noon to 3:30 pm. Many fun activities are planned, including Quakerly games and “Trunkaween”—trick-or-treating in the parking lot. The young Friends from your meeting could enjoy getting to know the young Friends of other meetings … and be back home in time for trick-or-treating in your town.
For more information for both the adults’ and children’s program, please contact the Salem Quarter Coordinator: (856)769-0066, salemqtr@verizon.net.
