COMMUNION INSTRUCTION

Trinity Church communes baptized children at any age mutually determined by the parent(s) and the child in consultation with the pastors. Children who are not communing by the Third Grade are urged to begin. An instruction class for all third graders, communing or not communing, and their parents will be taught on Sunday, September 26, at 3:00 pm. Instruction materials are available for purchase in the Church Office by parents of younger children. After using this material with their children, parents may make an appointment with one of the pastors to complete the process, so those children may also begin communing.

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL

A weekday morning Vacation Bible School is held each summer for children who are three years old through Fifth Grade. From Monday to Friday, children are involved in a variety of activities designed to help develop and strengthen faith. Vacation Bible School will be held July 18-22, 2005.

CONFIRMATION AND CAMPFIRMATION

Youth in Seventh, Eighth and Ninth Grades receive instruction in the basics of the Christian faith during four Saturday retreats scheduled between January and Palm Sunday each year. An orientation meeting for seventh graders and their parents will be held on Sunday, October 10, at 3:00 pm. Classes will be held on January 8, February 5, March 5 and March 19 from 9:30 am to 2:30 pm. Ninth graders who complete the three year program will affirm their baptism through the Rite of Confirmation at the 11:15 am Service on Sunday, March 20, 2005. Seventh graders are expected to attend CAMPfirmation at Lutheridge June 5-11, 2005.

BABY-SITTING COURSE

Youth who wish to serve as Nursery Aides in the church nursery on Sunday mornings must be twelve years old and have Red Cross certification. The Red Cross Baby-sitting Course is offered periodically at Trinity Church to help youth meet this requirement.
