July 30, 2017 – Spirit Play

At an all-ages worship service on July 30, 2017, we reflected on the spiritual necessity of play and tried out the materials of our Montessori-based “Spirit Play” curriculum.

  • DRE Jamila Batchelder, at right, told the story of a young woman who stayed up in a tree for two years to save trees from being cut down as children helped act out the story.
  • Rev. Molly spoke about our R.E. "Spirit Play" curriculum for the children and then invited children and adults to engage with a number of different play stations in the Sanctuary and Greeting Area.
  • In this and the following nine photos, children and adults played at the various stations.
  • Some created their own stations for meaningful conversations.
  • After play time, congregants were invited to partake in a feast of grapes.
  • Interim Sunday Morning Assistant Mary Denson presided over the kitchen.
