St. Michael's Children's Ministry Team is excited to bring new virtual programs this fall to children ages 2-Fifth Grade. The programs will engage all of our children with visual storytelling and crafts. Stories of the Bible will be taught using a program new to us called Beulah Land (for ages 2-kindergarten) and we will continue using Godly Play for older children.

Stella Attaway will be using Beulah Land©, an interactive felt storyboard kit storytelling and imaginative play. Beulah Land© uses hands-on materials to tell Scripture stories in the context of worship. The felt pieces will be used to tell the original story but can be recombined in an infinite number of ways.

Carolyn L'Italien will continue using Godly Play for our 1st-3rd grade Sunday School classes. The program allows children to see where God is present in their own lives while exploring Bible stories with play and wonder. In Godly Play, children are led through the story with play figures and after are focused on “I wonder” questions from what they have heard.

Both programs will be presented on video and posted each Sunday morning on holymichael.org. We hope parents will tune in with their children to learn about these programs and how together they can explore the stories of God's love in our world.
