Spirit Play

Ages Prek-Kindergaren: Meets in Yellow House Basement after the Time for All Ages in the main church service.

Spirit Play is a model of Religious Exploration that invites children to create their own spiritual expressions and reflect on their own understandings of faith, spirit and story.

Drawing inspiration from the Montessori Method, this class centers around hands-on stories that illustrate our values and faith which are followed by open ended ‘wondering questions’ which invite children to express their own thoughts and understandings of the concepts presented.  Children then are invited to reflect and explore their own inner wonderings and spirit through self-chosen tasks around the classroom which include art, books, yoga, creating with blocks, a reading nook, literacy, science and math activities and re-exploring stories.  Each of our two classrooms are designed to fit the developmental levels of the children attending and are aligned with our Soul Matters Theme.


Imagination Stations

Second-Fifth Grade:  Meets in the Yellow House Main, 10 am service after the Time for All Ages portion of the main service.

This class begins each week with a central story, idea or theme that all the children engage in.  Then children are invited to choose from an activity station that engages them in art, reading, building, cooperative game or whole body movement that relates to our theme.  Using the Soul Matters curriculum, each month’s overall theme relates to worship and small group ministry.
