Sunday School at Trinity
At Trinity, we think that Sunday School is an important part of growing up. It's where young people learn about God, and where they have an opportunity to meet and have fun with other kids whose parents feel that Sunday School is a real benefit for young people today.
| Sunday School begins
with Children's Chapel each Sunday at 10:15 AM, usually held in the side chapel
in the main church building, and begins with a welcome and a short prayer by the
Priest. Following this, the young people break out into groups
based on ages and interests to do
crafts and have children's education activities with teams of volunteers from the parish,
under the direction of Terri Brennan, assisted by Gretchen Hachmeister, Cheryl Duntz and Marian Browning,
and some Sundays, when their busy schedules permit, our teenagers also help out.
These classes are held in the Sunday School rooms in our new addition. The
Sunday School joins
the Holy Eucharist in progress in the church around the time of the Offertory.

| Sunday School at Trinity resumes on Sunday, January 8, following Christmas break. The kids enjoyed Summer Sports in the Sunday School time slot during the summer. Young People's Sundays in church begin on October 2, along with the Blessing of the Animals -- the next one is scheduled for January 22. | If you are interested in having your young person participate, please feel free to just show up, or, if you wish, an e-mail to trinity@trinitylimerock.org will usually get into the right hands to ensure your young person is expected. You can also call Trinity, at (860)435-2627. Please leave a message, and someone will get back to you promptly. |
We look forward to welcoming you and your children for Sunday School!

If you think you would like your young person to come to Sunday School at Trinity Lime Rock, we certainly invite you to come visit us. (Need driving directions?)
| Trinity also offers other
notable programs for young people: --Baptism -- frequently that's where we first meet and get to know our young people. --Summer Sports -- a program for the whole community that meets during the summer months in the Sunday School time slot. Sports activities for young people at other times of year include bowling trips. --Acolytes -- our older young people serve on the altar regularly throughout the year, following a formal acolyte training program. --Young People's Sundays -- On one Sunday each month, our young people serve as ushers, assisting the day's head usher, and as readers, intercessor, and in most other worship leadership roles. --Christmas Pageant -- our young people have presented a Christmas Pageant annually here at Trinity for 68 consecutive years. --Confirmation -- when our young people reach an appropriate age, we either hold confirmation classes for them here at Trinity, or hold them jointly with other Episcopal parishes in the area (we confirmed three Trinity teens in 2010). --Vacation Bible Day Camp -- an activity we enjoy hosting whenever the number of kids of suitable age is present in the parish. We held it most recently in 2010! |
