Our Easter Egg Hunt is On!
Saturday April 3rd   @ 10am & 10:30 am

This year Trinity Church will hold its annual Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday April 3, 2021.  Due to Covid guidelines and social distancing, we are asking families to sign up for a time slot.  We want to limit the number of people on the property at one time.  When the time slots below have filled, we will add more if needed.  We are asking families to stay together while hunting and maintain 6 feet.  There is a box at the side entrance of the church for donations of filled eggs. If possible, please wear gloves when you are filling the eggs. To sign up, click here.  Please contact Beth Moeller or Melanie Figueroa if you would like to help.

For past Sunday School lessons, see below:


Online Sunday School - Fall

​ There are two Sunday school classes at Trinity. Our younger class ranges from grades K-5 and our older class is grades 6-8.   In our younger group, we focus on a children's Bible story and the children are lead in activities to reinforce the meaning of the story.  Activities include art, science, and drama activities.  The Jr high-class focus on how a bible story relates to mission-based work in the community.  
If your child is interested in Sunday School please contact Rachel Carpenter, Children's Education Coordinator at:

***Due to the COVID pandemic, church school classes are currently being held online on ZOOM.  Please contact the church office for zoom links and times.

Activity
Picture
  • Supplies: String, Beads
  • Instructions:
  1. Read Proverbs 3:3 together. “Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.”
  2. Invite your kids to make a necklace of faithfulness with you. With each bead that is strung you can talk about a time that God has been faithful to your family. This is also a great time to talk about what faithfulness is, examples of God’s faithfulness in the Bible, and why it’s so important to be faithful in our relationship with God and other people.

Hello everyone!  I'm so sorry we skipped last week!  I was on vacation visiting my mom.  It was a great week!  This week, we are focusing on the Fruit of the Spirit, Goodness.  Please take a peak at the Douglas Talks video and activity!  Email me a fact that you learned or a pic/video of you doing the activity and you will get a point towards a prize at the end of the summer!  Have fun!!  ~Rachel  (rcarp76@gmail.com)

Activity
 



​


  • Supplies: Bananas, Pens or Sharpie Markers
  • Instructions:
  1. Pass out a banana to each member of your family.
  2. Instruct everyone to decorate the outside of their banana.
  3. Once everyone is finished decorating, peel open the bananas. Talk about how what we see on the outside appearance of a person doesn’t show us what is on the inside (in their heart). Only God sees our hearts & only the Holy Spirit working inside of us can create goodness in our heart. If someone opens up a banana that has brown spots, that’s a great opportunity to reiterate how what’s on the outside doesn’t always show us what’s on the inside.

Hi all!  

WAY TO GO EMILY KEE!!  I LOVED the video of you, Brandon and your dad doing the Fruits of the Spirit dance!  1 point for the Kees!   Nice singing Mr. Kee :)

Here is this week's church school activity!  
This week, we will focus on our first fruit of the spirit, LOVE!  Take a few minutes to watch these two videos and then do the activity!  In the first video, there's a little muppet guy - it might look like the video is for young kids, but it's really not!  He does a great job teaching us about LOVE:)

​Lesson:  The Good Shephard and the parable of The Lost Sheep

Today we learned about the lesson of The Good Shephard.  We particularly focused on the parable of The Lost Sheep.   
We started off watching this lego video of The Lost Sheep
Next, we discussed what it means to be a shepherd and how Jesus acts as our shepherd. 
Even if we make a bad choice, and become a "lost sheep", Jesus will forgive us and help us find the way back "home" to him.  

Next, we played the cup switching game to pretend we were shepherds keeping track of our sheep:)  The Kee family actually had a toy sheep to use in our game!
Lastly, we played an online memory game teaching us that we all have very unique and wonderful characteristics and that Jesus knows us inside and out and will always find us / forgive us if we become lost, like the sheep in the parable. 

There will be NO SUNDAY SCHOOL ON MOTHER'S DAY.  We will resume, on zoom:), on Sunday, May 17.  Our last day of Sunday school will be Sunday, June 7.  

Sunday April 26th, 2020
This Sunday, we focused on Earth Day and how we can take care of God’s creation.  We made:
Seed Shapes
Materials:
 packet of flower seeds
A mixing bowl
Water
3-5 pages of scrap paper shredded into small pieces (you can do this ahead of time or during the activity
Food Coloring (OPTIONAL)
Cookie cutters (OPTIONAL)
a paper plate or something for them to dry on 

Here is a youtube video explaining how it works/what we are made! 

Also, attached is a simple nature scavenger hunt to take with you on a walk this week!

This morning, Trinity Church School gathered on Zoom!  We had a great time catching up and we read this interactive Easter story together.   Screen sharing technology wasn't working perfectly, but this is a video that we tried to watch together as well!    Take a peek if you are looking for something to do together at home today to recognize Palm Sunday and Holy Week.

Sunday School March 29th, 2020
The Trinity Church School had another successful virtual class via ZOOM!  
This week, we talked about the importance of KINDNESS during these tricky times.  We watched this video on YouTube to get our brains thinking about kindness.    
"In a world where we can be anything, BE KIND"
