Resources
The Diocesan office can provide a full range of resources for your children’s ministry, from videotapes, to Godly Play materials, to ideas and discussions. 

Godly Play
Godly Play is an approach to childhood religious education developed by Dr. Jerome Berryman based on the comprehensive approaches to early childhood education developed by Maria Montessori and Sofia Cavaletti.   Using Godly Play as the basis of a Sunday School or other religious education curriculum provides an approach, a comprehensive curriculum, and a set of materials particularly designed with young children in mind.  The Diocesan office can provide Sunday School teachers with an introduction to Godly Play, Godly Play materials and help with Godly Play curriculum.

Children at Worship - an online resource center
The vision of Children at Worship is “that more and more congregations will adopt the ideas of including children & youth in their regular worship, whereby creating congregations and communities that prosper and bloom.” Lots of resources and ideas on how to incorporate all ages in worship.

Children in the Eucharist Children in the Eucharist  is intended to help the Church honor, respect, and ac­cept our children and their ministries as they, like adults, live into the Baptismal Covenant, specifically so at the altar.

Group Publishing  Group Publishing has lots of resources for ministering with children including Sunday School curriculum, training materials, Vacation Bible School resources, books, and much more.

Church Publishing (a division of Morehouse Publishing) offers children’s resources and books.

Living the Good News  Living the Good News (previously known as “The Colorado Curriculum”) provides Lectionary-based curriculum and other program resources that support Episcopal communities that use the Revised Common Lectionary (RCL).

Episcopal Church Curriculum The Bible, liturgy and traditions of The Episcopal Church come to life for children in the Episcopal Children’s Curriculum. It is rooted in scripture and incorporates The Book of Common Prayer and The Hymnal to teach church traditions and standard responses used during worship. The curriculum was recently updated to provide teachers with new resources for building stimulating and effective lessons.
