Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A method for families to share the biblical story at home and learn the practice of sharing one another’s stories as part of God’s Story. Using Godly Play® methods, Jerome Berryman offers families a way of nourishing faith in the home while supporting children’s spiritual growth through the practice of “storying,” our most ancient way of making meaning. This book offers “storying” rituals and techniques from Godly Play for exploring the meaning of Christmas, Easter, Creation, the Parable of the Good Shepherd, Pentecost, and the Trinity to give sustenance to the family’s flow, play, love, and spirituality. Stories of God at Home follows the rhythm of life’s cycles (birth, death, earth, life, God, and depth) in telling biblical stories and shows how parents and caretakers can grasp their role with children using classic children’s literature.

Download or read book The Complete Guide to Godly Play written by Jerome W. Berryman and published by Church Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2006-07 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The key people whose stories are told in this volume enrich and extend the core narrative, which tells how the People of God sought the elusive presence of God. Welcome to The Complete Guide to Godly Play, Volume 6. In this volume Jerome Berryman has gathered together fifteen enrichment presentations to be integrated with Volume 2. Introduce these new presentations to the children when they are ready for more. When will that be? Our experience has shown that if children have Godly Play form at an early age, they will be ready for more at about age seven, but every child is different and therefore every circle of children is different. It is recommended that these lessons not be used until after the core lessons of Volumes 2, 3, and 4 have been told for a minimum of 2-3 years. A fluency in the core stories helps enhance the use of the Volume 6 lessons as they are used to deepen the meaning of the core stories. What's inside Volume 6: 15 Enrichment Presentations for Fall? All the information you need to present the Enrichment Lessons for Fall to the children in your Godly Play Room. Enrichment Lesson 1: Second Creation: The Falling Apart Enrichment Lesson 2: The Story of Abraham Enrichment Lesson 3: The Story of Sarah Enrichment Lesson 4: The Story of Jacob Enrichment Lesson 5: The Story of Joseph Enrichment Lesson 6: The Story of Moses Enrichment Lesson 7: The Story of Ruth Enrichment Lesson 8: The Story of Samuel Enrichment Lesson 9: The Story of King David Enrichment Lesson 10: The Story of the Prophet Elijah Enrichment Lesson 11: The Story of the Prophet Isaiah Enrichment Lesson 12: The Story of Prophet Jeremiah Enrichment Lesson 13: The Story of Prophet Ezekiel Enrichment Lesson 14: The Story of Daniel Enrichment Lesson 15: The Story of Job

Download or read book Faith Play written by Melinda Wenner Bradley and published by . This book was released on 2017-12-20 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this revised and expanded edition of Faith & Play(TM) Quaker Stories for Friends Trained in the Godly Play(R) Method, stories published before 2015 have been revised based on experience and feedback, and new stories have been added along with additional supplementary materials developed to support storytellers. Faith & Play(TM) is a story-based curriculum focused on building spiritual community with children and offering them images and language to express their wonder and experience of the Divine. Faith & Play(TM) grew out of Friends' work with the Godly Play(R) story curriculum, which embodies the Montessori belief that play is children's work and has dignity. These curricula support continuing revelation; multiple perspectives on a story; silence, reflection, and corporate sharing as valuable components of the spiritual life; and the diversity of ways the Spirit works within each person. While the Godly Play stories used by Friends are based on the Bible, Faith & Play stories include Quaker faith, practice and witness, as well as some Bible content told in ways that reflect Quaker sensibilities. Faith & Play stories are meant to be used in conjunction with Godly Play and we do not recommend using either resource without adequate training.

Book excerpt: In the rec room in at a church in Cypress, Texas, Margery leads her students in a puppet pageant to strengthen their faith in the Bible and evade Satan's hand. But when the young members of the Christian Puppet Ministry put those teachings into practice, one devout young man's puppet takes on a shocking personality that no one could have expected. In this hilarious black comedy, a foul-mouthed sock puppet named Tyrone soon teaches those around him that the urges that can drive a person to give in to their darkest desires fit like a glove. In Hand to God, a "true tour de force" (New York Times), Robert Askins has written a play of "unerring perfection" (Huffington Post). The must-see hit of the 2015 Broadway season, starring Steven Boyer and Geneva Carr, garnered an Obie Award and five Tony Award nominations, including Best Play, following its sold out, critically acclaimed off-Broadway runs at MCC Theater and Ensemble Studio Theatre.
