Mother's Day
May 14, 2006
Delivered by Sharon Ely Pearson
Children's Ministries and Christian Education Coordinator for the Diocese of CT
Today's Sermon will include a portion of a "Godly Play" session in which the story "the Good Shepherd and World Communion" will be told. Godly Play is a children's formation program that St. Peter's has embraced for its youngest members. It is an imaginative approach to working with children that supports, challenges, nourishes and guides their spiritual quest. It assumes that children have some experience of the mystery of the presence of God in their lives but that they lack the language, permission and understanding to express and enjoy that in our culture. In Godly Play, we enter into parables, silence, sacred stories and sacred liturgy in order to discover God, ourselves, one another and the world around us. At both services today, the entire congregation is invited to participate.
