Godly Play Volunteers Needed

Are you looking for a way to make an eternal impact on the kids at Good Shepherd?

As we look ahead to regathering, I am seeking additional Godly Play Children’s Ministry team members for our Godly Play classroom, which is designed for kids 3 years old through 2nd grade. This is because two of our Storytellers have moved away and two Doorpersons have personal/health concerns which prevent them from helping at this time. I am looking for individuals (high school and up) who want to make an eternal impact on the kids and families in our Godly Play classroom. Volunteers can help on a rotation basis (1-4/5 times each month). We have openings for both Storytellers and Doorpersons. The Storyteller presents the hands-on lesson with the provided script and materials and engages the kids in “Wonder Questions” to encourage understanding. The Doorperson welcomes the kids and families, checks the kids in, helps them find their nametag, escorts them to the bathroom or water fountain as needed and assists the Storyteller/kids as needed. A typical Godly Play session consists of the Feast (we start with goldfish to allow time for all the kids to arrive), the presentation of the story and “Work” time (creative time for the kids to reflect on what they just learned).

If you have a passion for teaching or helping out with kids, I look forward to speaking with you to find out what your interests are and to help you to be a part of our Children’s Ministry team. Please feel free to contact me at slefant@gshep.org for answers to any questions and to find out what the next step in volunteering with kids is.
