Welcome, Trinity Families!
Trinity seeks to be a vibrant place for families to cultivate their spiritual growth, where everyone is welcome to explore questions of life & faith. We aim in all of our christian formation to foster “faith for the whole person” — supporting the minds, hearts, and bodies of everyone at every stage of life in every circumstance.
As our rector, the Rev. Paul Jeanes, reminds us each week, “at this table there are no outcasts, strangers, nor unwanted guests, all are welcome to come and feast at the table of our Lord Jesus Christ, so please do come and be fed.”
The Episcopal Church tradition facilitates full engagement with the stories of our shared faith through liturgy and learning. Each week, in worship services and in Church School, we use our bodies, voices, minds, and spirits to glorify God. If you have young children, this is good news because wiggles are welcome!
Sunday mornings at 9:30am (will resume soon!)
Drop-off 9:15–9:30am | Pick-up 10:15–10:30am
Sunday School occurs on Sunday mornings during the 9:30am Formation Hour between the 8am and 10:30am Holy Communion services. While Adult Forum is happening in Pierce-Bishop Hall, children have Church School upstairs.
Children will explore the stories and practices of the Christian faith through imagination, creativity, prayer, play, and wonder.
Register your children here!
Please contact Anne Lord if you are interested in learning more about volunteer opportunities with family ministries.
StoryMakers is a not-for-profit creative studio that designs imaginative resources for kids of all ages. We spark curiosity, hope, and faith by drawing individuals into God's redemptive narrative in the stories of the Bible. We focus on facilitating the formation experience for churches and families as we seek to deepen the Christian faith of children and grown-ups alike.
We do this primarily through the tools we offer: zines, playbooks, guides, puppets, memory cards, and other visuals. Each adventure offers kids the opportunity to get creative, play, make social-emotional connections, and find themselves in the story of God’s love.
Sparkhouse offers groundbreaking Christian resources through imagination and collaboration, with curriculum developed from a collaborative community of Christian thought-leaders and practitioners from a variety of denominations.
Remember, if your children are feeling sick or running a fever, please stay home! We’ll be glad to see you when you recover!
Each classroom has hand sanitizer dispensers, sinks for handwashing, and windows which can open if necessary to provide extra ventilation.
We continue to provide individually wrapped snacks and drinks in order to minimize risk of illness. There are sinks in each classroom, and we will have everyone wash hands before snack-time.
According to current New Jersey Guidelines, masks are optional.
According to CDC Guidelines, vaccines are strongly recommended. We will not keep a record of vaccinations; however, we do recommend that you ensure you and your children are up to date on your vaccines and boosters.
If someone tests positive for covid after being in Church School, please notify Miranda, and we will send an anonymized email to notify other families of possible exposure.
Trinity’s Nursery is a beautiful and light-filled space directly upstairs from the church office. We have rocking chairs, a diaper changing station, a small fridge for snacks and drinks, books, and toys for children three years old and under.
Trinity is currently in the process of hiring Nursery staff. Parents are always welcome to stay with their kids in the Nursery. Remember, you can tune into the livestream service from the Nursery!
Donations
Donations to our nursery are always welcome, contact Miranda to coordinate or bring them in to church on Sunday mornings.
