Godly Play on the Fifth Sunday After Pentecost

Welcome to our online Godly Play circle on the Fifth Sunday After Pentecost. First of all, we want to remind you that next week we will be meeting for a LIVE session of Godly Play over Zoom! This is part of our new Godly Play summer program which you can read more about here. Please RSVP to the program and we will send you the Zoom link and mail out an activity packet to accompany the story!

This week we are learning more about our Saint of the month: Harriet Tubman! Brooke is our storyteller and Shannon will help us get ready for the story. Click on the video below to watch!

If you would like to re-visit the wondering questions from the end of the video they were as follows:

• I wonder what part of this story was your favorite?

• I wonder what part was most important?

• I wonder where you saw yourself in the story? Or which part felt like it was especially about you?

• I wonder if there is any part we could leave out and still have all the story we need?

The prayer Shannon shared at the beginning of the video comes from the Order of Julian. If you would like to pray it again the words and instructions are here:

If you would like to learn more about Harriet Tubman‘s life we recommend the picture book Moses: When Harriet Tubman Led Her People to Freedom by Carole Boston Weatherford  (Author) and Kadir Nelson  (Illustrator). Here is a read-aloud recording for you to enjoy:

If you enjoyed the above recording, please consider buying a copy of the book from your local bookseller. Here is link to buy it at The King’s English bookstore in Salt Lake.

Finally, remember to RSVP here for next week’s Godly Play session on Zoom!
