Sunday School
Sundays | 8:50-9:35 a.m.
Preschool and school age children meet weekly to learn about Bible stories and wonder about all the ways that God is working in our world. Students in kindergarten through grade six will engage in each Bible story with hands-on learning activities, interactive games, and creative crafts. Preschoolers (must turn 3 by September 1) will follow a play-based curriculum which features age-appropriate play spaces, prayers, and storytelling. On the first Sunday of each month, children attend First Sundays with their families. There is a suggested donation of $20 per student.

Connections

Sacraments
Baptism
When we talk about faith, baptism is where we begin as Lutherans. We acknowledge God's love, God's presence, and God's promise for our lives. In baptism, God claims us and promises to walk with us in faith. If you have a child you wish to have baptized, contact Pastor Tom Westcott.
Holy Communion Instruction
All are welcome at the table at Trinity, including children, so the decision of when a child will begin to receive communion is made between the parents/guardians and the child. Holy Communion instruction is a chance for kids to learn more about this sacrament with Pastor Tom and Heather. Communion instruction is held for children in first grade each spring, while instruction for children in second grade or higher (who have not already participated in instruction) is held in the fall. Registration information to come.
| Fall 2024 | November 20 | 2nd grade and above |
| Spring 2025 | March 30 or April 2 | 1st grade |
