I have a wondering question for you. I wonder what you do when you play. Do you think Jesus played? The painters of these pictures did.

When you go out to church school some of you go to the Godly Play classroom. Your storyteller tells you a bible story with the baskets or parable boxes and then you get to respond with your sacred work. No one tells you what to do, you choose what to use to help you remember the stories.

What are some of your options for responding to the story?
You can retell a sacred or parable story, paint, draw and make clay sculptures. You may run your hands through sand or follow the finger labyrinth while you think about the story.
You may go to the book shelf and choose a story there. What you use is not as important as what helps you remember.

Ask someone to read you a story from the bible, or read one yourself and then use what you have at home to do your work, sacred work that will help you remember the story.  Remember your Godly Play is serious work!

AND DON’T FORGET TO PRAY.
