CONTACTS:Nursery/Toddler care Marisa Brenninkmeyer, [email protected] School ages 3–12Emily Brothers, [email protected] ages 13–18Libby Yardi, [email protected]
TODAY IN THE CHURCH SCHOOL Children at Trinity meet most Sundays for the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd program (CGS). Since each Level of the program covers a range of ages, often several lessons are offered each Sunday, with most children taking part in only one. Today Level I will work with familiar materials and use the model altar materials to be introduced to some of the preparations made for our celebrations of Eucharist. Level II will explore the Prayers of the People, and work with familiar materials. Level III will begin reading and discussing the Genesis account of the Flood.

about pledging
Our vision of Stewardship recognizes that God is the giver and has blessed each one of us with many gifts. Common to us all is the privilege and blessing of how we use the precious gifts of our time, talent and treasure. Stewardship is the spiritual practice of discerning the use of these gifts in building God’s dream of love and justice in our hearts, relationships and world. At Trinity we call your gift of time and talent Shared Ministry and we call your gift of treasure a pledge. Pledge forms are available at the Welcome Table.
