Sunday's at st. peter's

godly play

Godly Play is a program that uses a hands-on approach to Christian formation. Children ages 3 to 11 are invited to listen to stories, pray together, and wonder about God. We meet Sunday 9am-9:50am in the Lower Level of the Community Hall. 

Godly Play encourages children to ask questions and respond to the lesson in open and creative ways.

Our goal in Godly Play is to show how to be open to the Holy Spirit, the Creator, and the Redeemer all at once, all the time in every place.

    GRADES 5 -12    

    Join us Sundays at 9am for thought-provoking discussions on faith, fun games, and community service opportunities. During these gatherings, we explore sacred texts, the Book of Common Prayer, and the significance of serving the community. Our aim is not only personal growth, but also fostering a deep sense of community that extends beyond St. Peter's Square. Through our actions, we strive to show the world the love of Christ.
