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!

Adult Learning

Each Sunday, learning opportunities for adults are offered after worship and are preceded by a time of coffee and lite snack fellowship.

  • The Adult Forum is topical and explores current faith and social issues.  For a list of topics by date, please reference the monthly newsletter.  December 8th, Worship and Music Small Group continues with what we do in worship and why….the topic this week – Advent in Fondersmith Auditortium following worship.
  • Faith Talk focuses on Scripture and Theology, hosting a hearty discussion of both.  The discussion is led by Doug Frazer and Tim Wentworth.  December 8th, the Advent series continues.  Jesus teaches the Bible to the disciples on the Road to Emmaus. Lesson 2 – The Book of Psalms. Faith Talk archive of past lessons is available: https://www.youtube.com/@FaithTalk-HolyTrinity
  • TWIST(Trinity Women in Study Together) has reconvened. Currently, an Advent study based on the video/book by Rachel Billups: “An Unlikely Advent”. All are welcome to join us whenever you can. We begin with a video viewing followed by a lively discussion…no previous reading required.   The group will continue to meet Tuesday mornings  in the Trinity Cafe beginning at 9:45am.
