Growing in Faith and Spirit

Journey Through Holy Week 2025 at Holy  Trinity:

Director of Youth and Family Ministry, Rachel Kramer organized a great educational experience for Trinity youth.  They played pin the tail on the “Palm Sunday ride into Jerusalem” donkey, heard a story from Doug Pennington, met at the Temple with Karen and John Cooke, Pastor Joel led them in a craft exercise and they prepared communion bread for Holy Week.

As Lutherans, the foundation of what we teach is grounded in the words of Martin Luther’s Small Catechism.

Children’s Learning

“Children are welcome at Trinity, we want to share Jesus’ love with them, and help parents raise their children in faith.  The Sunday School year for children and youth is now underway.  Children gather for music time at 10:45 a.m. in the Parish House then hear a Bible story, make a craft, and play Bible Story games. In addition to Sunday morning learning, activities for families and children are held throughout the year.  Confirmation classes have begun as well.   With questions, please contact Rachel Kramer, Director of Children and Family Ministry.

Junior High Learning

Confirmation age kids, 6th, 7th and 8th graders will join the Sunday School for music time at 10:45am starting in Trinity’s Chapel.   Afterwards, will go to room 205(across the hall from the choir room on the 2nd floor of the Parish House) for a lesson. Trinity’s confirmation program is a 3 year rotation. One year the students study the Old Testament, one year the students drive deeper into the New Testament, and one year the students hear all about Lutheran Theology. At the end of the program students get the opportunity to affirm their baptisms during worship and celebrate afterwards with a special Trinity Fellowship time.

Senior High Learning

Trinty’s Senior High Youth Sunday School class meets at 10:45 am in the “Youth Room” located in Trinity’s Parish House basement. These classes are discussions on the Bible and Jesus’ life through the lens of a high schooler’s life making the Bible relevant for students. Come have a great conversation with us!
