Christian Education

The WoRM Program

From September through May, the Trinity Church Sunday School provides Christian Education to the younger members of our parish family, starting at 9:45 AM.

As summer is coming to an end and you're busy shopping for back-to-school wardrobes and school supplies, please keep in mind that Sunday School at Trinity Church also starts in September.

Registration will take place at the annual picnic on Sunday, Sept. 12th. Registration forms are available here, and also will be available at the church.

Our first class is scheduled for Sept. 19th, the week following registration. We would love for all children who will be part of WoRM to join us on that date, as we will be introducing the program, preparing journals, and collaborating on a covenant that will enable everyone to have a successful year. It will also be an introduction to our first rotation, entitled "You Are Blessed — The Beatitudes."

Volunteer sign-up sheets for this first rotation are now posted upstairs in the Parish Hall, as well as outside Lane Chapel. Please find a day (it's only an hour!) that you can join us. Thank you!

We have pictures of last year's classes in the Photo Album.

Adult Spiritual Formation

Adult Spiritual Formation at Trinity is growing and changing. Trinity holds evening worship followed by adult classes on Wednesday nights in Advent and Lent. Trinity has a number of parishioners who are currently enrolled or graduates of the Education for Ministry (EFM) program, a four year intensive program of study of church history and the bible that is conducted in small groups, nationwide under the auspices of the University of the South. Programs such as this past summer's "Burgers, Beer, and the Bible" nights provide learning and fellowship throughout the summer months.

Weekly Topical Bible Studies (Tuesday evenings at 7pm and Wednesday mornings at 10:30am) are based on our Anglican 3-legged stool: Tradition, Scripture and Reason. We exolore varying topics of interest (recently: Grace and Forgiveness) within that framework.

Quarterly offerings of Life@Trinity, provide an opportunity for new and long-time Trinity members to explore the history, mission and ministry of the Anglican Communion, the Episcopal Church, our diocese and Trinity itself.

Adult Inquirer classes are held as needed for those wishing to be confirmed or received or to renew their baptismal vows.

One's spiritual journey does not end with confirmation — it is a lifelong process which Trinity encourages and supports.

For more information on our Adult Spiritual Formation programs, contact Verna Kosiba or Fr. Mac.

Parish Library

The Parish Library is located in the parish hall to the right when you enter. This summer a volunteer straightened and catalogued all our books and tapes. Everyone is encouraged to see what's there. Please stop in and take a look next Sunday.
