NBCC UCC launches a new
church school curriculum: Godly Play
The Heart of Godly Play is: creating Sacred Space, building and working in community, learning religious language, and using religious language to make meaning.
A Godly Play session includes a time to: get ready, tell a story using objects and artifacts, explore the story more with open questions and discussion, respond with a free choice using a variety of materials - art... silence... play...writing...and enjoy a simple feast and sharing.
Imagine an approach to Christian nurture and education that promotes knowledge, skills empathy, and spiritual growth, develops the needs of the whole child, provides a multi-sensory approach to learning, develops language and communication, and thinking skills, and provides depth and reflection in every session. Godly Play can help you see and do things differently!
Would you be willing to co-lead a Godly Play session two Sundays a month? We will provide you with a training dvd, lesson plan, and all the materials you need! Please call or email Denise George at 203.315.0423 dmgeorge67@snet.net

Sunday Evening Bible Study in the Chapel: The Alpha Course
This group will meet from 5:30 – 7:00 PM for 15 weeks beginning February 7th.
Join us in the NBCC Chapel. Explore your faith . . .
What do you believe about God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit? Are you able to explain it to others?
Each session includes a video presentation on a specific topic, followed by a group discussion. Invite your friends! There will not be any homework for this course, however there are study guides available for $4 if you would like to to a little further on your own.
