Holy Trinity Episcopal Church

Children are always welcomed at Holy Trinity.

Our youngest members

The first Sunday of every month is Children’s Celebration Sunday during which children are invited to take part in the worship service helping Father John by serving as greeters and ushers (helping the big people), bringing the wine and bread to the altar, and participating in a special sermon. The children’s choir sings a hymn during the service as well. For those who find it a challenge to make it through the service, there is an activities table in the connector between the church and the parish hall with coloring materials. There are also activity bags there that can be taken back to the pew. For children under four years of age there is also supervised child care available. The Child Care room is located through the Parish Hall – follow the white signs. A baby changing station is available in the restroom located in the Parish Hall as well.

For older children and young adults

We feel that Christian education is important not only for our children but for our community and the world, and we provide engaging learning experiences for all ages. For children ages four through ten, we offer Godly Play on Sunday mornings. Each session centers around interactive storytelling of Biblical tales as well as creative time related to the story. For older children in grades six through twelve, Journey to Adulthood (J2A) is offered which encourages youth to grow in faith and in their service to the community (along with some fun and fellowship as well). This program is offered in three stages: Rite 13 for grades 6 and 7; J2A for grades 8, 9 and 10; and Youth Adults in Church (YAC) for grades 11 and 12. These are also part of the preparation for the sacrament of Confirmation.

We also have a youth group in conjunction with Amicable Congregational Church which meets twice a month for fun activities as well as community service.
