Sundays at 10 AM
Church School meets on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Sundays of each month at 10 AM, downstairs in the undercroft. Our kindergarten through 5th grade classes use the Godly Play curriculum β a Montessori-inspired approach to Christian formation developed by Jerome Berryman that honors children as naturally spiritual beings, already in relationship with God. Rather than simply conveying facts about scripture, Godly Play invites children into the biblical story through carefully crafted narrative, three-dimensional wooden figures and materials, and open-ended "wondering questions" that encourage genuine theological reflection.
On the first Sunday of every month, children are invited to join the full liturgy upstairs, serving as readers, acolytes, ushers, or choir members. On the remaining Sundays, children come upstairs before Communion to rejoin their families, so the whole family can receive together.
Children gather around the story materials during a Godly Play session β one of the moments of wondering that shapes Trinity's Church School experience.
Infants & Toddlers
Our nursery provides loving, professional care for children under the age of 4 during the 10 AM Sunday service. Two adult care providers are ready to welcome and watch your little ones in a safe, clean, and cheerful space.
The nursery room runs a professional air purifier and toys are cleaned and sanitized weekly. For parents who wish to stay with their child, the worship service is live-streamed on a flat-screen TV in the nursery β and parents are always welcome to come upstairs for communion.
Trinity's youngest members bring energy and joy to our parish life every Sunday.
Music & Formation
Trinity's Young Singers program offers children a wonderful gift: learning to sing sacred music in the context of worship. Based on the model of the Royal School of Church Music, the program teaches children not only how to sing and read music, but how to understand the texts they sing β connecting music directly to the life of faith.
The group meets on Thursday afternoons to prepare music for the first Sunday of each month and for special services throughout the year. Currently the group meets as a combined ensemble; as membership grows, we plan to split into two groups: grades 2β4 and grades 5β10.
"In addition to learning how to sing and read music, singers learn the music for worship in context and sometimes have lively conversations about the texts."
Youth choir members enjoy singing during Sunday services.
Sacramental Life
Trinity warmly welcomes families who wish to have their children baptized into the Body of Christ. Baptism is the foundation of Christian life β not merely a ceremony, but a full and permanent initiation into the community of faith.
"Holy Baptism is full initiation by water and the Holy Spirit into Christ's Body the Church. The bond which God establishes in Baptism is indissoluble." β Book of Common Prayer, p. 298
Baptisms at Trinity are typically celebrated at the Great Vigil of Easter, the Day of Pentecost, All Saints' Day, and the Feast of the Baptism of Our Lord. We encourage families to be in contact with the parish office well in advance to prepare.
