Sunday, October 26, 4:00-5:30, Mission Campus

We have set a goal of 25 trunks. Please consider decorating a trunk with a game and being part of the fun. Thank you!

Drum Safari, Balloon Twister,
Cookie Walk, Popcorn, and more
—in addition to games and candy!

So many fun activities and goodies for kids and adults of all ages! Trinity Youth will be serving a fundraiser dinner during the event. Bring canned goods to support Mission Community Food Pantry. Invite your friends, family and neighbors!

Much help is needed for this community event! Volunteer below or see displays at either campus. You can decorate a trunk, plan a game, donate candy/trinkets/cookies, or just come and be part of the fun! Donated items can be dropped off early at either campus or the day of Trunk-or-Treat at the Mission Campus.

October 19 and 26
Parents of Second Graders

Faith milestones in the lives of our children are part of building a lasting, life-long relationship with Jesus. As parents, you have the greatest faith influence in the life of your child. Children’s ministry is here to walk alongside you in that journey and provide opportunities to continue to grow together in faith with your family.

Second Grade Bible Milestone

Trinity gives each second-grade student a new Hands-On Bible as part of our milestone journey. Mark your calendars for the classes and presentation dates. Here are the details:

• There are two classes for the student and at least one parent to attend. Both parents are welcome to attend but we require at least one to participate alongside the student.

• Classes will be held Sunday, October 19, and Sunday, October 26, during the Sunday School hour from 9:45 – 10:45am.

• Bible Presentation Sunday, October 26 – Parents will present the Bibles to your children in the 11am worship service.

We are excited to share this milestone with your child. The classes are very hands-on experiences where the children will learn all about their Bibles and how to use them as they also learn to love God’s Word and the application it has for their lives.

Parents and Students in Grades 2-5

If you are new to Trinity, or have not been able to attend the class before, you are invited to join us for these milestone classes.

9:45am beginning September 7 
Shawnee Campus Sanctuary

Parents are invited to join in a NEW opportunity for conversation and connection during the Sunday School hour, 9:45-10:40am.

This opportunity provides time to share a short devotion and discussion question, plus time to connect and build relationships with other parents over a cup of coffee. Parents can take their children to Sunday School and then come to the Sanctuary upstairs for conversation and connection, to build relationships with others, to support one another, and grow in Christian fellowship. We will end our time at 10:40am to allow parents time to pick up their children from Sunday School and to prepare for the 11am worship. Hope you will join us!

Noisy Collections take place in all Sunday worship services on the third Sunday of each quarter.

Sunday, October 19
Benefitting the Rushton Elementary School Adopt-a-Family Christmas Gift Collection

The next noisy collection will take place on Sunday, October 19, at both campuses. Please bring your loose and “noisy” change and deposit it in the buckets on your way into the sanctuary for worship. The money collected will go to purchase Christmas gifts for the Rushton Elementary School Adopt-a-Family program. You may also donate online with the link below.

Trinity offers Sunday School each Sunday at each campus at 9:45am for one hour. Children learn Bible stories, life application of God’s Word in their daily lives, how they are a part of God’s kingdom and how much God loves them. Summers and holiday weekends give us the opportunity to switch things up a bit and shake up the curriculum, sometimes providing group activities, sometimes trying out a multi-generational study.

Simply Loved Curriculum

Simply Loved Sunday School is designed to help kids remember each lesson long after their children’s ministry years. Bible Stories are shared each week through active, participatory learning which is age appropriate. Bible Buddies help to reinforce the Bible story and Bible Verse each week. The children are given a Bible Buddy sticker with the Bible Verse on it so they can place God’s Word in their hearts and minds. This curriculum also emphasizes Life Application of God’s Word into their daily lives as we learn how much God loves us and then we seek to Simply Love others around us.

Milestones

As children learn and grow in their knowledge of the Bible and understanding in faith, they reach tangible milestones of learning. We celebrate each of these milestones as an important step in a lifetime of learning. At Trinity, we celebrate milestones, starting from birth with baptism. We continue them in our Sunday morning program. Milestones include:

• Age 2: Bible presentation
• Age 3: Prayer Book
• Age 4: The Lord’s Prayer
• Kindergarten: The 10 Commandments
• Grade 1: The 10 Commandments
• Grade 2: Bible presentation and Books of the Bible
• Grade 3: Books of the Bible
• Grades 4 and 5: The Apostles’ Creed

All completed milestones are celebrated in a worship service. 

Mentoring – Mission Campus

All children from second grade to fifth grade are assigned a youth or adult mentor. This is a time for your child to develop a relationship with another person at Trinity. These relationships help children feel more comfortable in our church environment and give them valuable interaction with mature Christians. Children learn how important faith is to the adults around them. Mentoring begins promptly at 9:35am and lasts for 10 minutes. It is important for your child to be in attendance by 9:35am so they can spend the full 10 minutes with the mentor.
