Religious Educator

Over time, educators and worship leaders have expressed a desire for a resource that aligns Godly Play more intentionally with the Revised Common Lectionary.  This companion provides a helpful framework for those wishing to connect the curriculum and the Church’s cycle of readings.

Some may choose to use something other than the Revised Common Lectionary (e.g., the Narrative Lectionary, the Women’s Lectionary). A Scripture Index is also included that may be helpful when looking for a story that aligns with a particular passage.

The Wondering Together Project by Sally Thomas, licensed Godly Play Trainer, "invites your family, classroom, or group to come together once a day to check in with each other using the same five questions in the same order."  To learn more and access materials, visit https://wonderingtogether.org/.

The most effective way to bring Godly Play to your church is to do your research, learn some stories, and then take them to every meeting and event possible! As you do this work, it is important to explain that the story you are about totell is just one piece of the overall Godly Play session. But hopefully it will be intriguing enough that you gain support for your new program.

You can also print a What Is Godly Play? handout and bring it to your church's governing body to give them a sense of what your goals.

Fundraising may be an integral part of starting or re-starting your Godly Play
