Welcome to Trinity Church's Sunday School!
Sunday school is available for children from preschool through middle school.
Last year we started using the Faith Weaver Curriculum from Group Publishing, the same company which produces our awesome Vacation Bible School in June.
This curriculum allows students to learn the same basic Bible points in each class while engaging their developmental abilities.
The Faith Weaver Curriculum is lectionary-based, so the readings children hear are the same ones the adults read and hear in church.
This allows us to discuss as a family what we learned in church, each from our own different perspectives.
A new Sunday School registration form must be filled out for ALL students at the beginning of every school year.

Nursery Care
Our Nursery Staff would love to meet your littlest family member during the 9:45 service. The nursery is located down the stairs to the right of the sanctuary.

Sunday School
During the 9:45 am service, Sunday School begins after the children's sermon for preschool through 8th grade students and ends just in time for communion.

Children's Services |
First Communion
|
|
The children participate in many baptisms, the first communion service, and the Teacher Appreciation service on the last day of Sunday School.
During the Christmas and Easter seasons, Trinity Church hosts services designed specifically for children and families such as: Christmas Eve Children's Service, Christmas Pageant, and Good Friday's The Way of the Cross Service. |
First Communion class happens each Spring, and is generally for second or third grade students who are interested in learning about communion. The six week class leads up to a special First Communion service in May, and a reception in the Parish hall for all Communicants and their families afterward.
If you or your child are interested in learning more about First Communion, please contact the office for more information on the next class. |
D.I.G.G. Church
Once a month, we invite every student from preschool to high school to join in a large group learning experience!
D.I.G.G stands for Delighting in God's Grace, and during our D.I.G.G Sundays we do skits, build take home projects, make crafts, play games and eat snack! We follow a modified liturgy based on the Book of Common Prayer Rite II; altered in consideration of the age group. Lessons are taken from current events and based on the things Jesus is doing in the world today. D.I.G.G is lead by our Youth Director, Manda Lavallee and takes place in the Howard Chapel, off the narthex. |
