Overview
Our regular program year of Sunday School runs from the end of August through the beginning of June in the classrooms on the third floor of the parish hall. From 9:30 AM -10:15 AM kids ages 3+ are invited to join us between the services to learn about our faith with their peers through age-based, creative, and interactive activities. Please pick up your child from their classroom promptly between 10:15-10:20 AM.

Our Curriculum
Godly Play: Learning through Storytelling
“The result of a lifetime of research and practice by theologian, author and educator The Rev. Dr. Jerome Berryman, the Godly Play® method is a curriculum of spiritual practice exploring the mystery of God’s presence in our lives.” (What is Godly Play?)
For children ages 3-5, Godly Play is a Montessori-based program that teaches core Bible stories through story, play, and interaction. Kids listen to the story, watch and wonder with each other as questions emerge, and interact with the story through activities and crafts. Here at Trinity, teachers are trained in helping children learn through self-discovery. We believe that kids have a natural closeness and awareness of God, and our job is help nurture and strengthen that connection.

Illustrated Ministry’s Mini Revolutions: Lectionary-Based Learning
Mini Revolutions is an intergenerational curriculum created by Illustrated Ministry based on the Revised Common Lectionary. Our Primary/Intermediate and Youth Sunday School classrooms use this curriculum to practice the rhythms and experience the seasons of the church year through the revolutions of the liturgical calendar. As we embrace this cyclical way of observing time and moving through the seasons, we experience sacredness and rhythm. Every cycle can feel like a fresh start filled with hope and new opportunities for growth.
Mini Revolutions is designed to welcome the small revolutions each week brings. Each week, we study one scripture from that week’s liturgical readings from the Revised Common Lectionary, taking time to ask questions, wonder together, and learn through activities and art. Mini Revolutions curriculum is designed to help our kids grow in faith as they notice, implement, reflect, and make changes in their lives.
