Dear Families and Friends,
Greetings! As most of
you know, the 7:00 pm service has now been moved a bit earlier to 6:00 pm with
an addition of childcare. This is really exciting because it will enable some
families to join us more regularly, and it will also alleviate some of the
busy-ness and crowding in the earlier services. It will be a wonderful addition
to have the children in the building at the later service.
In the next few weeks,
we are trying to get a feel for which families we can expect in the evenings. I
truly appreciate your support and patience as we take note of attendance
patterns and adequately assign volunteers as needed. We will be opening our
classrooms for all ages, infant through 5th grade, but may combine some rooms
as is practical.
Parents of 4th & 5th grade students: In the coming months, we will be adapting
and re-imagining our Sunday curriculum to address the growing needs of our
older children. Although we will still be operating within the Contemplative
Model, we will be offering lessons on topics ranging from Communion to Self
Control to The Personhood of Jesus. These topics will be taught in month-long
series and it is our hope and prayer that these will provide important
knowledge for young people in a very transitional and special time in their lives. I will be collaborating
with the ALPHA teachers and Youth volunteers to ensure that upcoming Middle
Schoolers will be well equipped for the challenges of their burgeoning
independence. More information is forthcoming; thank you for praying for the students
and volunteers during this exciting time.
Another wonderful
addition to our Trinity family is Christine Cown, who will be working with
volunteers and families as she supports Trinity Kids. Christine and her husband
Kevin (and now their son, Judah) have been a part of our community for many
years and Christine has been instrumental in serving and coordinating
volunteers. She is a dedicated part of the Women’s and Moms’ ministries as well. We are beyond thrilled to
have her partnership and to enjoy the addition of her skills and experience
with the children here at Trinity. Please welcome Christine to our crew! For those of you who don't know Christine already, here is a face to go with a name...
Thanks a million for
your support of Trinity Kids! Please let me know if you have any questions or
need clarification on anything at all. You can stay abreast of all that is
going on through our blog: www.trinitykidsministry.blogspot.com and by joining
the trinityKids Facebook page.
May I continue to extend my appreciation for your
encouragement and understanding! It is a great privilege to love your children.
All my best,
Julia Guy, Children’s Pastor
