Holy Trinity Children’s Ministry
By Holy Trinity Nov 28, 2011
Teaching kids to love, live, and learn God's Word.
Our Children’s Ministry is led by Co-Directors Tracy and John-Paul Abraham who work closely with Pastor Janet Hansted Meadors as well as our Youth Minister Shannon Savage-Howie to oversee the following programs:
Village Sunday School Our Sunday School takes it’s name from the African proverb, “it takes a village to raise a child”. We strive to involve the whole congregation, not just parents, in teaching our children about God’s love. From September ‘til June, we meet in the Sanctuary at 9:45AM on Sunday mornings for our opening and then proceed to our classrooms. Our goal there is to support our children’s faith journeys through age-appropriate Bible stories and activities in a safe, nurturing environment.
The Aisle Cruisers Children from 2nd through 6th grade meet weekly from September until June in a children’s choir with a twist! Under the direction of Steven Johnson-Egertson, they write and perform their own songs based on themes including The Ten Commandments, peace, and Christmas.
Nursery Loving nursery care is available during all services for children from newborn to 36 months old. Books, music, and art are just some of the activities available to our youngest friends. Pagers are available to help you keep in touch, if desired. There are diaper changing tables available in the nursery (located across the courtyard from the sanctuary) and in the “cry room” off of the Narthex. (The Narthex is the main entry area inside the doors of the church.)
Vacation Bible School Though our Village Sunday School is on hiatus during the summer months, there are still other activities going on. Vacation Bible School is a fun-filled week of crafts, stories, games, and snacks focused on a different Bible-based theme every year. Sign-ups begin each spring. See our news section on the home page or call the church office for information.
Milestones Ministry Milestones Ministry recognizes and celebrates the many different faith milestones our children experience. We celebrate nine milestones throughout the year including baptism, service, and prayer. It is a very special experience for the children.
John-Paul Abraham leads the children in prayer before classes.
“Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” – Matthew 19:14
