There are so many epic stories in the Bible: David vs. Goliath, baby Moses floating down the river in a basket, Jonah being swallowed by the whale, Joseph’s coat of many colors, and more. This fall, Children’s Ministry launches a new creative arts and tech program called PLAY on Wednesdays! Kids in K – 4^th will have the opportunity to engage with these stories and experience them in a whole new way. Each week, our Co-Director of Children’s Ministry, Emily Austin, will use her theater background to introduce new ways of storytelling: stop-motion animation, shadow and hand puppetry, improvisation and tableaux, sound scape, prop and costume design, etc. We will read various accounts of Bible stories and picture books to learn the plot of the week and then break into small groups to take on the role of actor, designer, or playwright! Our young creatives will then get to work, telling the story in their own words and expressing their ideas of what these stories might mean in today’s world.

PLAY on Wednesdays will run in two sessions and have a window-on-the-work showcase at the conclusion of each session which we will open for friends and family to attend. Tuition for PLAY on Wednesdays is $175 per semester.
