Our Pray-Ground
In Our Worship Space
The Pray-Ground
One of our deepest values here at Grace is our commitment to children and youth meeting God in worship. The intention of the Pray-Ground is to facilitate prayerful responses to worship. It is a space for people of all ages to be part of worship together with options for sitting, space to wiggle when needed and age appropriate resources to keep hands busy. We are blessed to have kids in worship and space for all to show up as their authentic selves.
Godly Play
In Our Classrooms
Godly Play
Godly Play is a Montessori based process of storytelling and wondering that we use as our Children's Formation. Sundays 9AM - 9:50AM. Following Godly Play the children have 10 minutes of transition time to connect with their parents/guardians to either sit with them in worship or to get settled in the Pray Ground. To learn more about the Godly Play experience visit the https://www.godlyplayfoundation.org/.
