Children are welcome at Holy Trinity! Our littlest disciples are welcome to worship with us on Sunday Mornings. There are children’s bulletins and children’s worship bags available in Trinity’s Narthex for children to use during worship. Childcare is also available during worship across the street from Trinity’s sanctuary. The childcare room is located in the basement of the Parish House. You can ask an Usher or Greeter for directions.
A special Children’s Sermon is offered at least one time per month.
What else do we offer children at Holy Trinity?
Our teaching begins at 10:30 am in the choir room on the second floor of the Parish House. Sunday School starts with music time, followed by a bible story in the classroom, and we end with a craft or game. During some seasons, the Sunday School children might make a craft for Holy Trinity’s Homebound members or be engaged in another service project. This is to teach our littlest disciples that just as Jesus was a servant King, we too are here to serve others.
Holy Trinity also hosts an annual Vacation Bible School.
For children entering 6th grade, it is time for them to affirm their baptism by entering Confirmation Classes. Confirmation is a three-year program. One year focuses on the Old Testament, one year focuses on the New Testament, and one year focuses on Lutheran Doctrine. These classes are taught by Pastor Timothy Mentzer during the Sunday school hour beginning after worship Sunday mornings after the worship service.
When youth hit their Senior High years, they start to challenge parents, teachers (adults in general), and they challenge the traditional teachings of the church. We provide a safe and encouraging environment for youth to ask the hard questions of faith.
The annual vestry report was held after worship, Sunday, April 23rd. Our worshippers enjoyed a wonderful brunch prepared on site by volunteers. A brief summary of latest activity was then shared by leadership. Including a summary of our discipleship committee’s work, a financial report, updates on endowment opportunities, a review of our Historical Holy Trinity Lutheran Church video and a walk around the newly operational web site.
