Children's Christian Formation
Every volunteer and staff person who works with young people at Trinity has been trained through the "Safeguarding God's Children" curriculum and has received a background check. The safety and well being of our children is of primary importance.
Children's Sunday School
Pre-school and elementary grade children learn about God and God's relationship with humanity through a story based curriculum called "Godly Play." The children experience the stories of Scripture and do crafts and drawings that pertain to the lessons they have learned. Each session concludes with "The Feast," which is our children's version of Holy Communion. Class begins at 9:15 each Sunday morning.
Children's Chapel
During our 10:30 worship service, children ages 3 years-5th grade are invited to participate in a Children's Chapel service. Children's Chapel participants are invited to meet at the back of the Nave prior to 10:30. They process to the front pew as a group (with the main procession) and remain in the nave until time for the Scripture readings. At that point, they are excused to attend the Children's Chapel service. The service is led by rotating teams of parents. Their service includes a processional, a call to worship, readings, a teaching, prayers of the people and a retiring processional, presented primarily by their fellow classmates. At the conclusion of their worship, children return to the Nave in time to share Eucharist with their family.
Vacation Bible School
Vacation Bible School at Trinity is a week-long, all-day camp filled with activities and crafts, and of course, chapel and Bible verses. The 65-acre Trinity Conference Center provides the beautiful setting for the camp, where the children can canoe in the small lake, fish off the bridge, enjoy playing in the playground, or attend chapel under the pines. All activities center around a theme, and love for God and biblical truths are taught in creative and fun ways. The camp is open to kindergarten through 5th graders (3 and 4-year olds can attend in the mornings), and teenagers assist in the care and instruction of the children. Children bring their lunch; snacks and drinks are provided. Verse memorization, singing, crafts, and fun activities - what better way is there to show kids the love of God! The camp is provided free of charge as a ministry of Trinity Episcopal Church and each participant receives a t-shirt.
