Building On Last Year
Last summer, we tried something new and different at Trinity—a summertime family Sunday School experience. We called it Faith Home, and we had a wonderful time discovering how we can bring faith principles that we’re used to talking about in church and applying them to our family life.
This year, we’re building off of that success and presenting something that we hope will be both fun and meaningful for every member of the family. We’re calling it Summertime Family Sunday School, and it meets virtually every Sunday (see the schedule) from June 10th through August 12th.
This is an informal family gathering time that meets in Trinity’s gymnasium.
We’d love for you to join us!
What About Church?
The Summertime Family Sunday School is not intended to replace your worship experience in church. Because it’s taking place at 9:30 on Sunday mornings, we encourage those families that will be participating to worship at
8 AM, or at the Monday or Saturday evening services in summer.
