Join US! The children gather with the Family Service on Sundays at ten for a brief greeting by the Rector, prior to Sunday School. They rejoin the service for communion.
Sunday School Programs:
Curriculum: Sunday School lessons are based on the Lectionary and Book of Common Prayer
Children at Trinity usually participate in one large class. The “one-room” schoolhouse approach assures that siblings or best friends and guests do not need to be separated. The insights and concerns of parents at Trinity create Trinity’s Sunday School experience. Parents are welcome to assist at any time, or even just watch. Sunday School is a year round program for children of all ages. Children who would like to participate in Sunday School simply join their family for the 10am service and are ushered off to class with their teacher as the service begins.
Intergenerational Special Events:
The Gospels tell us of the crowds that surrounded Jesus as he taught – crowds that included families with children. While Jesus seems to have been comfortable teaching multigenerational crowds, his present day followers don’t often follow that example. So many separate activities are planned for separate age groups that families who come to church looking for time together can find that the church provides little or no family time at all. This isn’t true at Trinity, where seasonal activities are planned for all ages.
With crafts, games, and always something to take home, we get in touch with Christian traditions and practices that can become part of daily life. We also experience the unique reality of a Christian community, one where all ages can learn to value each other. Look for intergenerational events in Advent and Lent, as well as special ones to prepare for baptism and other celebrations. Bringing the whole family of God together is one of the purposes of Trinity’s life and ministry.
