14 About Us With prayer, perseverance, and encouragement, Sally Selzer has made Worship Woodworks Inc. a viable small business in Protection KS. While Sally was working at Godly Play Resources, Tom Berryman, brother of Father Jerome Berryman, suggested Sally start a business of her own, making materials for Godly Play Resources. Shortly after that, she met Sonja Stewart who encouraged her to make Young Children & Worship and Following Jesus materials. Since 1995, Worship Woodworks has grown from a one person in the family garage endeavor to a growing business with employees in a wellequipped shop. Thank you for expressing interest with Worship Woodworks. We hope that the information here answers all your questions regarding our line of religious education materials.
