Kids Church Is Underway!

Kids Church Is Underway!

In January of this year we launched our new Kids Church on Sunday mornings.

This week, we introduced prayer stations to help kids spend time with God. At our stations on February 9, kids prayed while eating a candy heart, used pipe cleaners to create the initials of someone to pray for, drew a picture of how we can show love and kindness to others, and created a crossword to spell out names of people to pray for and words that describe God.

Welcome to Kids Church!

Welcome to Kids Church!

Kids Church began on Sunday, January 5. Sunday’s big idea was: We can spend time with God. Each small group pretended to be astronauts (wearing a helmet and gloves) and attempted to put together a puzzle in the midst of many distractions. We then discussed that if we had more time and the ability to practice, we would get better at it. This experience is similar to spending time with God. We can face many distractions and it can feel awkward, but with practice, spending time with God becomes a habit!

Lenten Love Project

Lenten Love Project

Did you know that during the season of Lent, Trinity reached out to several neighboring organizations and showered them with love?

This spring four Covenant groups, a Sunday School class, a circle and a Bible study group participated in the Lenten Love project. The Tuckahoe YMCA, Tuckahoe Library, Firestation 8, Forest Hill Rescue Squad, Henrico Doctor’s Forest ER, Crossover Ministries and The Tuckahoe Rescue Squad were each visited during the course of this project.

The idea came from a seminar last fall, entitled “How to Reach New People.” It was among a list of suggestions how churches can reach out to organizations and those in the community. Most groups took some type of baked treat to the community organization. One covenant group took a full lunch to the Tuckahoe Rescue Squad.

One Trinity project participant writes: “I was overwhelmed at the gratitude expressed by the employees of the Tuckahoe YMCA. They were so joyful and cleared the entire counter where members check in to share the treats and display the note we wrote to them. I came away feeling as if they had done something for me!”

The group that visited Fire Station 8 wrote that the Firemen returned their containers to the church, which they did not expect, and all of them had signed an Easter card. While they did not have much time to visit, as the firemen got a call just as the ladies arrived, they felt their efforts were appreciated and recognized, despite the hasty departure of the firemen.

The covenant group that went to the Tuckahoe Rescue Squad said the members followed them out to their cars “like puppy dogs,” expressing their gratitude.

This Lenten Love Project succeeded in blessing our community this spring and is just one of the many ways Trinity reaches out to our neighbors. If you would like to be part of a similar project in the future, please contact the church office and let us know.
