Godly Play for Children | Christ Church Ridley Park

Sunday, September 24, 2023, 10:15 AM

You're invited! Interactive storytelling Montessori-based "Sunday School" for children pre-k to fifth grade is available to families on Sundays! Children meet in the Whaley Room at 10:15 AM. This is the same time as our 10:15 AM Eucharist, which Caregivers are encouraged to attend. Children will rejoin their Caregivers at communion when they are brought to the sanctuary.

This invitation is open to any household interested in engaging their children in the sacred epis of the Christian tradition with wonder and hands-on fun.

Additionally, activity bags are available for young ones in the pews with busy hands. We encourage you to take a look at the activity bags in the rear of the nave. There are coloring pages, books, and stuffed animals too!

Whoever you are, for whatever reason you are wondering about this community and way of faith, we are glad you are here, and we invite you to come and see in-person, or join online.

We encourage you to explore how we carry on meaningful traditions while adapting to this era in life giving ways. We continue, return, proclaim, serve and strive in Christ’s name every day.

We trust that God loves you and all creation - no exceptions.

We know that following Jesus brings both connection and transformation.

We encounter the Holy Spirit who is both demanding and renewing.

We strive together to grow in faithfulness to God’s way of love in this time and place.

Our leadership shows up with their whole hearts! We strive to bring our Christ-centered love to our work, homes, beyond our building, and into our neighborhood.

The way of Jesus is a lifelong friendship of loving-kindness and liberation. We wonder how we can collaborate with you and the Holy Spirit to become compassion, freedom, and mercy for all.

We are glad you are interested in Christ Church and we'd love to get to know you better. Please tell us a little more about yourself.

Holy God who calls the world into being, who calls us into Christ’s church; we thank you for the church that is our heart, for the mission of the church that is our joy, and for the ministry of the church that is our task. We thank you for the generosity of Christ Church, Ridley Park, for its steadfastness over time, for its faithful witness, wholehearted life, and its abundant caring ways. Make us courageous, make us ready, make us open, that we may become a resounding Alleluia through your passion and into your victory. We pray in the name of Jesus crucified and risen, wholehearted Shepherd of the Church. Amen.

Donate to Christ Church in support of the life, ministry, and witness of Jesus Christ. Contribute online to a particular collection or make a one-time donation under "non-pledge".

Money is a lifeless substance, but without it, life as we know it isn’t possible. It takes funding to offer worship, fellowship, maintain buildings, care for one another. One of the steadfast ways that we offer gratefulness to God is through a pledge commitment.

Sponsor altar flowers to beautify the sanctuary with creations from God. Altar flowers are often shared "in memory of" or "in honor" of someone special and can be displayed the Sunday around a meaningful date. Information of sponsored flowers will be included in the worship bulletin.
