Trinity Kids and Students Summer 2021

Summer is here and we are ready to kick off the summer in a big way!

As I’ve told you in the past we hired Alex Kirven (a beloved teacher from Hill) to come help us with children and youth activities. Alex will officially begin this Wednesday 6/9 with an activity for teenagers (rising 6th – 12th). Alex has a fun outdoor activity planed in the bishops garden starting at 6pm so please spread the word and invite friends! Activities for children will begin Sunday morning 9/13 during Trinity Kids!

We come together for songs, prayer, and lesson based on the Lectionary Calendar

IN ADDITION!!! Many of you have been asking about Confirmation. We will tie the four week class into the Wednesday programing. We will meet each Wednesday @ 5pm starting on July 21. These classes will last an hour and then the students can go and have some fun with Alex. I know the summers are busy so if your student needs to miss one just let me know and I will make it up with them one on one. The Bishop is scheduled to come on September 18th at 10:30am. If this date doesn’t work don’t worry we will provide a time for your students to be confirmed.

Spread the word it’s going to be a great summer!

If you missed last week you missed a wonderful opportunity to meet in the church and two God’s children were baptized. It was a great and exciting Sunday. We will resume our weekly schedule this week with an indoor option at 8am and a garden service at 10. Please mark your calendar for Sunday, September 12th for our annual kick off and outreach fair. We will start the year back in the church at 10:30 with a full choir, service and coffee hour that will make memories. Good days are ahead!!!

Grace and Peace to you All!

The Rev. Jonathan Adams

We are looking forward to a fun and thought-provoking spring and summer!

Big Things for Sunday School

Big things are happening at Sunday School and we need your help!

The Christian Education of our children is one of the most important ministries in our church and for those of us who are parents of school age children. We are seeking your support and involvement to make our programs as successful and enjoyable as possible. We are looking for people interested to serve on the Christian Education Committee. We will meet monthly to discuss our programs and events and how best to meet the needs of our community. Please contact Kevin Fox (847) 971-4986, kfox@myviablevision.com or the Church Office if you’re interested in learning more.

On December 17th at 9:30 we will be meeting in the Choir room in the basement of Cox Hall to discuss our Youth programs (grades 7-12). We would love to see parents, parishioners, young people in grades 7-12, and any of our recent members home from college to share breakfast and ideas on how to build on the recent success of our youth programs. We want to start 2018 running with activities and opportunities to help our youth grow in their faith and fellowship!

Please consider joining in and rallying others to participate in this important aspect in the life of our church and our families.

Vacation Bible School

June 12-16, 2017

A little about this year’s program:

At the Maker Fun Factory, kids explore what it means to be created by God for a purpose. Kids participate in memorable Bible-learning activities, sing catchy songs, play team- building games, make and dig into yummy treats, experience one-of-a-kind Bible adventures, collect Bible Memory Buddies to remind them of Jesus’ love, and make crafts that represent their uniqueness and creativity. Plus, kids will learn to look for evidence of God all around them through something called God Sightings. Each day concludes with a Maker Fun Factory closing that gets everyone involved in living what they’ve learned.

Age Requirement and Placement:

This adventure is available to all children, age 3 through current 5th grade (Children must have turned 3 by June 12, 2017 and be potty-trained). Preschoolers will be placed in separate small groups, and elementary-age children will be placed in small groups of similar age and grade levels.
