The Story of Saint Kentigern, who was also known as Mungo

19th February 202519th February 2025 By Alex Mackenzie Comment Closed

The city of Glasgow is celebrating it's 850th birthday this year. But Glasgow's roots go back even farther than it becoming a Burgh in 1175.

Godly Play Circles are a chance to catch up with other Godly Players, maybe to borrow some story materials, eat some cake, and definitely listen to and wonder about a story together. Our story for this circle will be from the collection of German Gott im Spiel Jesus stories, which have been written in the style of Godly Play and translated by Godly Play Scotland.
