We have a Sunday School!

First Trinity started a new Sunday School program with the help of a cadre of volunteers. Sheila McCoy worked with Pastors Wendy and Tom to organize the program and recruit teachers and musicians as well as people willing to help in the nursery. Dan McCoy provided 'behind the scene' assistance and support. Sheila and Dan's leadership, the pastors' time and expertise and the volunteers' commitment turned this long-hoped for program into a reality with the first class on October 12.

Our small number of children gives us room to grow. We are using the same curriculum as St. Matthew’s and look forward to adding their children, youth and teachers to build a joint Christian education program that serves all of our young people.

I commend all the people who have worked to make Sunday School a reality at FT. I have very clear and fond memories of my Sunday School teachers and I hope that our young people will build similar relationships with people that they might not otherwise get to know. It is likely that most of my Sunday School teachers have no idea how important they were in my life, and I wish that I had told them.

A vibrant Sunday School both builds community within our congregations and offers visitors additional resources. The time that has gone into developing this program, and the efforts that will continue to build it are well spent. Thank you to those with the vision, energy and commitment to make it happen.
