Stewart Childrens Playable

The writers have formulated an stimulating way to introduce three- to – seven year olds to the wonder of worship. Activities are formulated around the order of worship normally used in Reformed churches: assemble in God’s name; proclaim, give thanks to and go in God’s name.

Wonderful Resource with All Patterns and Instructions!
By J. Grayson Marpes
I have this book and the newer Godly play books. Young Children and Worship has been more utile to my little team because it includes the patterns and instructions necessitated to make the formally presenting something materials for each story. (The Godly Play books plainly direct you to use a set, presumably purchased online from Godly Play Resources). We are on a budget and have been competent to use inexpensive materials (candles, construction paper, felt, cardboard, etc.)to make a heap of demonstrations as we work on making a lot of wooden sets.

The best is plainly the best…
By Notgnostic
This is by far the most fruitful, simple, engaging, and theologically faithful tool for Christian education I have ever seen or used. I have personally constructed all of the constituents patterned in Berryman and Stewart’s book and after instructing with them for ten years have passed them on to my daughter, age 17, who is now instructing her initial class. This book is “true riches” and well worth owning. I have ‘used up’ four copies and my daughter is using the fifth. Enjoy and grow!!!

Don’t instruct – WORSHIP!
By elizabeth e. hance
Young children underneath age 8 already ‘know’ God – they are spiritual beings who still live in awe of all creation and who have an innate reverence for the creator. This book shares a new approach to leading young children to a deeper kinship with the God they already know. The approach is NOT to TEACH them Bible stories, but rather to present those stories as the ‘Word of God’ in a form of weekly WORSHIP which has been modified to the young child’s level. Instead of Sunday School teachers, you become ‘Worship Leaders’ of young children. The gains of this worship are outstanding – not only for the children, but for the worship leaders too as they learn from the children’s perceptivities into the worship lessons. The book is meant to be a ‘teaching aid’ for worship leaders who attend a formal ‘Worship and Children’ training session. The book is utile as a guide for each on a weekly basis worship lesson – it lays everything out very nicely. However, it would be more utile if a supplemental ‘worship aid’ were available which would provide the songs, music, and signing (modified form of American Sign Language)which are also part of the worship service.
