Day, a day where we get to gather, visit, and discuss what is coming up with Youth, Children, and Adult programs, Christian Formation, and Trinity’s ministries. Come hear what is in store and sign up to volunteer in many different ways. Here is what the morning will look like:

Also, don’t forget our Parish Retreat coming up Sept. 29-Oct. 1 at Camp McDowell. This will be our first retreat in a few years and I am very excited about it. We know that fall weekends are busy, so if you can’t make the whole weekend try to come for part of it. Work is already underway to make this a joyful and spirit filled time for all. Registration is open and I hope all the cabins are full! It is always good to get back into our fall routine and schedule and I look forward to enjoying it with all of you.

New program for children ages 2-4

I have exciting news to share! We are starting a Wednesday program this fall for 2- to 4-year-olds. It will include Montessori- inspired, play-based lessons for little ones with sensory activities, crafts, songs, games, and an opportunity to spend some time with all the kids. A meal will be included at the end. The program will run concurrently with our other Wednesday night programs from 4:30-6:30. Dropoff will be from 4:30-5 p.m., programming will be 5-6 p.m., and dinner and pickup will be 6-6:30 p.m. I

Children’s Ministry

would love to answer any questions you might have about this new program and we hope you will take advantage of it this fall.

You can drop donations off at my office or I will be picking up large items, such as furniture, August 26 and September 9. We are accepting most items, but no clothes, please.

End-of-Year Skate Party

Summer ministry for children here at Trinity wrapped up our last Monday program last week and we could not have had such a spectacular summer without the help of tireless volunteers. We want to especially thank Bruce Cherry and his meal team for eight consecutive Monday meals feeding dozens of children, youth and adult volunteers and the summer staff. Cathy Turner was a faithful volunteer again this year. We had several great youth volunteers who are invaluable to the success of our program. Many thanks go to Pam and the nursery staff for being there every Monday. Our Youth Minister, Simon, was right there with us each Monday as his summer schedule allowed helping with our oldest group who will one day soon be EYC themselves. And finally I want to thank the parents, those who volunteered, who donated supplies, and who have been unfailingly kind in their praise to me this summer of our programs. Altogether through our programs we had just over 100 children signed up for either Summer Series or VBS. Each summer we see kids from our parish and from the community. Some kids may have never experienced church and so we get to be ambassadors for Christ but also for the Episcopal Church where we hope to show them that everyone is welcome, and more than that, we can model the love of Christ in whatever small way so that they might carry with then into the future. As we look to next summer and begin to plan we hope you will say a prayer and consider donating your time to the wonderful work we are able to do here.

-- Jessie Stracener, Children’s Ministry Coordinator

Thanks to volunteers, parents, staff for spectacular summer!

Thanks to everyone who volunteered this summer to help with classes, crafts, music, preparing meals, cutting out projects, and everything that went into the events this summer. We had 88 children registered for the Summer Series, and 47 registered for VBS. That’s a lot of crafts,

meals, and voices raised in song.

Thank You!
