Godly Play and Youth Fellowship Group
Sunday School at Holy Trinity: Sunday school is held during the 11:00 am service for children age 4 - 10. We will be following the Godly Play guidelines as well as Bible stories from the current lectionary when age appropriate. If you have questions contact: Sharon Parker at 757-999-7720 or sharonlp@verizon.net. Godly Play approach to Christian education for children helps them explore faith through story. Bible stories are acted out with props which engage the children in active participation in the process while teaching them religious language and concepts. Based on Montessori principles, the leader encourages the children by asking open ended questions without leading into prescribed answers. This approach invites the child to develop their relationship with God based on their experience as they attempt to put themselves in the story and answer the questions this stimulates.
Community Christian Youth Fellowship 2022-2023: Community Christian Youth Fellowship (CCYF) is a partnership youth program with NMPC, MSUMC, Holy Trinity and the Hispanic community. It's for 6-12 graders. We will have another year of friendships, faith, fellowship, and future leader formation. We need to hear from you so we can prepare for the meeting. Please respond to mongould@gmail.com.
