Vacation Bible School (VBS)
“PandaMania” — Where God is Wild About You” is the theme for our Vacation Bible School 2011. VBS will be held
Sunday, June 12th through Thursday, June 16th, from 6:00 pm to 8:30 pm. To volunteer, please contact
Paula Roane (click for email or call the church office). Additional
information will be forthcoming to explain how to sign your children up for VBS.
Some of the programs offered here at Trinity are:
- Sunday School - Our
children gather in the Chapel at 9:45 a.m. for announcements and prayer
requests. We then travel to the children's area where our summer topic
is "Video Devo's". We will be watching a video clip from a children's
movie and then dividing up to see how we can apply what we have seen to
our lives. Parents are needed to facilitate these activities. No
experience required, all supplies provided. .
- Children's Church - After
Children's Moments at the 11:00 traditional service, the children will
be brought over into the Chapel for a worship time of their own! Each
week we will have a Bible lesson, we will sing, dance and have lots of
fun while we worship and learn!
Children's Church is for children 3 years old (and potty trained)
through 5th grade. Volunteers are needed to help make this program
successful. No experience required, all supplies provided
