Curriculum and authors information

Curriculum Sources We Use:

Young Children and Worship
Following Jesus


The authors Sonja Stewart and Jerome Berryman wrote Young Children and Worship. Sonja Stewart then wrote Following Jesus and Jerome went on to write 8 volumes of Godly Play, a series for older children.

You may also be interested in viewing their websites. Jerome's is GodlyPlay.com and Sonja's is WorshipWoodworks.com. We order lesson materials from both companies and they are located in Kansas. Godly Play has recently been bought out by a larger company and I don’t know how that will change our ordering procedure.

Sonja Stewart died a few years ago but her staff has continued her work. On her site they also have a few stories written by Dick Gibson. Dick holds several training sessions a year, at his church, The First United Methodist Church of Clover, SC right outside of Rock Hill. These sessions or gatherings as he calls them are very beneficial. My hope is that we can all find time to attend so we can see the whole program demonstrated.
