Playing in the Light: Godly Play/Faith & Play Training for Friends

This experiential approach to religious education can transform your program for children and nurture intergenerational spiritual community.

Discussions include:

• nurturing the spirituality of children
• exploring the “unspoken” lessons of spaces and methodology
• supporting children and families in the meeting community
• working with multiage groups and diverse needs
• weaving Godly Play/Faith & Play stories into a children’s program with other religious education resources available to Friends.
