Children's Formation:
This past Sunday, April 15 - Our Godly Play children discovered Jesus in the Synagogue and the Upper Room and our little ones played hard in the nursery.
This coming Sunday, April 22 - Our Preschool-2nd graders will try to find Jesus even in his absence. Our lesson will draw from Mark 16:1-7, Matthew 28:1-8, Luke 24:1-11, John 20:1-10. Our 3rd-5th graders have the opportunity to serve in worship as ushers, readers, or acolytes. We’ll have childcare for our youngest Trinitarians in the nursery.
**If 3rd-5th graders want to read or acolyte they should contact Aaron before Sunday and plan to arrive by 9:30 AM Sunday morning. If they want to usher or bring the bread and wine forward we will sort that out just before the service begins.**
