Service Opportunities for our Youth (7-12)
There are many ways our youth can give back to our local and global community. We encourage our Youth to participate in service opportunities throughout the year.
Saturday, September 28, 9 a.m. - 12 p.m.: Coastal Cleanup on Kingman Island with Ocean Conservancy
This volunteer event is open to the entire church;
let's care for God's creation together by helping to clean up Kingman
Island!
Thank you for all of your support of the Confirmation class project.
The bags have been assembled and blessed
in a worship service. We now invite you to take one with you to help distribute
them in our community. Bags can be picked up in the Narthex and Fellowship Lobby.
We are very proud of our Confirmation Class for their commitment to blessing others in Christ’s name.
Confirmation class for 7th graders, and older who have not taken the class, will begin with a kick-off for youth, parents and faith friends on Sunday, January 12, 2025, at 4 p.m. in the Sanctuary. Pastor Anne Hough will once again be the lead teacher, and the class will meet most Sundays from 4-5 pm and will run through mid-May. Confirmation Sunday date to be decided.
Trinity will be giving each participant a new Bible for use during the class. Since we like to have these engraved with the youth’s name, we need everyone to register now, using the link above, so we have time to order the Bibles in time for them to arrive by January 12.
We also like each youth to have a faith friend who will support them through the confirmation process. This person should not be a family member, but someone in the congregation that the youth might relate to. If you need help choosing a faith friend, please talk to Pastor Neil, Catherine Wethington or Pastor Anne.
What is Confirmation Class?
In order to mature in their own faith journey, the confirmands will explore what the Bible teaches us, what it means to follow Jesus and how we serve God as members of the United Methodist Church. Confirmands will learn about our church history, our beliefs, and our practices. This class will aid in their spiritual formation on their life long journey as followers of Christ. At the end of the class each confirmand will decide if they are ready to become full members of the church.
Your Confirmand needs a Faith Friend:
Each confirmand needs a Faith Friend. A Faith Friend is an active adult member of the Trinity Church family who will journey alongside a confirmand. They will check in weekly and will share their own faith journey and experience with their confirmand. A Faith Friend should not be related to the confirmand. Ideally, there is someone the confirmand can identify within our church family to fill this role. If you are unsure whom to ask, Pastor Anne or Catherine can recommend a Faith Friend to you.
Contact Pastor Anne or Catherine Wethington if you have any questions.
