Sunday's at st. peter's

godly play

Godly Play is an interactive program designed to nurture children's spiritual growth through storytelling, prayer, and exploration. Open to children ages 3 to 18, this hands-on approach to Christian formation invites them to wonder about God in a meaningful way.


We gather on Sundays from 9:30–10:15 a.m. in the Lower Level of the Community Hall to enter into Godly Play together. After our time of wondering, children may rejoin their families in the Sanctuary or remain for extra response time. This extended space allows them to continue their work, move around, and let their bodies settle so that they are ready to join the congregation at the Peace. At that time, children are invited to take an active part in worship by gathering around the altar with our priest to watch and wonder at Communion up close.


Godly Play fosters curiosity and creativity, encouraging children to ask questions and engage with the lessons in a personal way.


Our goal is to inspire wonder and curiosity about God, the Bible, and the Church, helping children deepen their faith through exploration and discovery.
