Proclamation of the Word: The Good Shepherd; Fourth & Fifth Grade Students
Note: Today’s proclamation uses the Godly Play style of storytelling. Godly Play is a reflective biblical storytelling method developed by the Reverend Jerome Berryman. Godly Play is an approach to children’s spiritual formation that is based on creating a sacred space in which to share the stories of our Christian faith and wonder about them together. Here at Central, all of our children’s Sunday school classes (preschool through fifth grade) use the Godly Play curriculum to tell stories from the bible and wonder about them through conversation and play.
