On Wednesday, October 15th, Godly Play will begin at 3:30 p.m. at Christ Church in Bastrop. This program of Christian Education is a joint effort of St. Andrew's and Christ Church. This is the third year for the program which draws between fifteen to twenty students a week. Godly Play is open to children from 3 to 10 years old. Come let your child try it out!
