The only requirement for participation is an inquiring mind and a cup of coffee (or tea!). Dates are announced in The Chimes and in the Sunday bulleting.

Recently, Urban Promise's director, the Rev. Dr. Bruce Main (shown with Father Stowell), was a guest speaker during our Christian Formation Hour.

What's a YAC??

No, it's not a large, hairy animal! It's a YOUNG ADULTS of the CHURCH and that's what the High School discussion group will be known as this year. ALL students in 11th and 12th grades as well as any post-high school or college students are invited to join this group for informal discussions on a variety of topics that pertain to the lives of young people today. Guest leaders will help facilitate the group discussions.

Church School Guidelines:

In addition to the Community Covenant of Trinity Church we ask that the following guidelines be followed for the welfare and safety of our children and youth.

Nursery:

label child’s diaper bag and contents

do not bring sick children to the Nursery

Pre-K, Kindergarten and Grade 1:

Drop off your child in his/her classroom by 9:00 a.m.
Pick up your child after the service or let the teacher know if they are to go to Sunday Morning Extra
Do not bring sick children to Church School

Grades 2 and up:

Church School begins after the 9:00 service, so students should not leave the church to go to Church School until the last hymn.
Children should go to church at 9:00 or 11:15 with their parents or adult care giver and should not be allowed to leave church or the church property unaccompanied.

Please fill out a registration card for each child in your family. These cards are available from each teacher or from Mrs. Nancy Whisonant, Church School Director.
