I wonder - what is Godly Play?

A Godly Play session includes time to:-

Build a circle and get ready
Hear a story using objects and symbols
Explore the story more with open questions and discussion
Respond with a free choice using a variety of creative materials, toys and books.
Enjoy a simple feast and sharing

"In Godly Play there are no right or wrong answers".

"In most religious education children are told who God is. In Godly Play children discover for themselves who God is."

Our designated Godly Play Room, a joint Methodist/Anglican venture, was opened in 2019 and is located in the Annexe to Sowerby Parochial Hall, a 5 mins walk from Sowerby Methodist Church. We welcome children of all ages on the

First and Second Sundays of each month at 10.30am for an hour. Usually the only adults in the room are the Storyteller and Doorkeeper, however a parent may be invited to stay with very young children and babies.
