ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL
Beginning September 18th, adults will have two choices for classes on Sundays at 9:00 am. Classes will be held in the Media Center and the Conference Room.
Fr. Jacobs will teach an Enquirer's Class for anyone new to Trinity or the Episcopal faith. It also serves as a great refresher course for long time Episcopalians. The class will run through the beginning of Advent when a new class will begin.
The second class for adults will be a discussion of denominations and other faiths looking at the differences and similarities among Christian faiths and the various Protestant denominations. It will also look at the beliefs of Mormons and Jehovah's Witness followed by a brief look at religions from other parts of the world.
YOUTH GROUP
Calling all Middle and High School youth! The newly-formed Trinity Episcopal Youth Group will meet at 4:30 p.m. TODAY (Sunday) in the Youth Building. Bring a friend! We'll watch a movie and Toni Houdyshell will lead a discussion. Don't miss out on this exciting, brand-new program!
BLESSING OF THE BACKPACKS
This blessing will take place on September 18th when Trinity's children begin the Sunday School Year, and will be part of that Sunday's 10 am service. It will set the stage for the Children's Sermons that Fr. Jacobs will be offering twice a month. It's a wonderful way to involve the children of our parish in worship. After the children's sermon, the youngest of the children may leave for childcare while the older children may return to the pews to sit with their parents.
