Circle – Edinburgh – 9 June 7:30pm

Godly Play Circles are a chance to catch up, maybe borrow some story materials, eat some cake (it's Godly Play Scotland's 16th birthday) and, of course, listen to and wonder about a story together. Our story for this circle will be from the collection of GOTT IM SPIEL Jesus Stories - stories written in the style of Godly Play.

This circle will be held at St Ninian's Church in Comely Bank, Edinburgh....
