What is Godly Play?
It is child-centered learning that illustrates how to create meaning with the language of the Christian tradition in a time frame that mirrors the pattern of worship. Children have an innate sense of the presence of God. The Godly Play approach helps them to explore their faith through story, to gain religious language and to enhance their spiritual experience though wonder and play. Based on Montessori principles and developed using a spiral curriculum, the Godly Play method serves children through early, middle and late childhood and beyond.
Come join us! For ages 3 through 3rd grade, Sunday mornings (except the first Sunday of the month) at 10:30 a.m. during the church service in the Godly Play room. They will join their parents during the exchange of the Peace (about 40 minutes into the service) so they can participate in the rest of the worship. (Sept-April). With any questions, you may call Linda Auch 406-670-7821. Learn more at www.godlyplayfoundation.org

Study, fellowship and special activities planned around our young people’s busy schedules bring them into the life of the church and the community. These provide a safe and nurturing place for youths to be accepted, loved and grow into a mature Christian experience. With any questions, you may call Maria Surdahl at 719-684-6004.
What should young people do with their lives today? Many things, obviously. But the most daring thing is to create stable communities in which the terrible disease of loneliness can be cured.
