Children’s Ministry – February 2023

Feb '23
2023 has begun and what a blessing it is to be a part of Trinity during these days of “new.” Here are a few new things in our Children’s Ministry.
We will be starting two new classes in the coming weeks. 4th grade will have their own class at 11am and will meet in Room 157. Pre K/Kinder will become two classes at 11:00am with Pre-K remaining in their room and Kinder moving into Room 159. This class has really grown in the past few weeks and we are so excited to have to create a new class.
Our Wednesday night ministry programming has a new name as we are tweaking our ministry programming. Wednesday nights will become “Disciple Kids” and continue in our discipleship, missions and service programming for our 2nd-5th graders. Disciple Kids 2 includes children Pre K through 1st grade with 3 yr olds – babies in childcare.
Sunday nights new name is “Praise Kids” as we Praise, Connect & Worship. 1st– 5th graders will be meeting the following 5 weeks: Feb 19 & 26 and March 5, 19 & 26 to prepare for Easter Worship. Praise Kids will be learning “Arise My Love” in Sign Language to share in all 3 services on Easter Sunday.
Thank you for your patience with the “new” secure space process. We look forward to when all of the construction is completed and we are able to work out all the “kinks” in our system. I am so thankful for such an amazing team of Shepherds and Teachers who serve in our Children’s Ministry. They have done a wonderful job of getting ready for all the “new” and making sure kids are in a safe location, as well as being taught God’s word. It is a blessing to serve alongside these terrific people called Trinity.

There are not enough words to say “Thank you” in appreciation to our Night in Bethlehem team. The Lead and Setup teams did such an amazing job creating, building, decorating, and costuming, as well as handling the food prep, traffic, set up and take down. Our cast and crew did a fantastic job sharing the story of Jesus. I am so grateful for their time and talents. It was such a blessing to see so many wonderful people serving our community.
A special Thank you to Clint Brown who made sure all of our audio, electrical, and internet ran smoothly. We plan all year for this ministry and what a encouragement to see so many cars drive through our Night in Bethlehem.
If you would like to serve with us next year, please let Judy Stevens, Paula or myself know.
Thank you Trinity for sharing the love of Jesus in our community and the surrounding area!

Children’s Ministry – September 2022

Sep '22
I am so very grateful for the prayers and support from our church. We had a wonderful summer in the Children’s Ministry and I’d like to share a couple of highlights for me personally.
We had a great group of kids at VBS and camp that accepted Christ. Many of them have been baptized the past few weeks and we still have some that are needing to be baptized. It has been such a blessing to see God work in the lives of our kids this summer. VBS and camp both were great times to have spiritual conversations as well as spiritual decisions. We are continuing many conversations as we head into fall. I hope we keep having to fill up that baptistry each week because we have so many kids, students and adults come to Christ!
Another highlight of the summer for me was during Pre-Teen camp. One of our church families had a girl from Japan living with them as a short-term foreign exchange student. I am so very grateful that she was able to go to camp with us while she was in Kerrville. We gave her a Bible of her own while we were at camp and the girls would sit down to help her learn to read using her new Bible. She worshipped and heard God’s word alongside our kids. My heart was thrilled to see our girls teach, love and minister to their new friend. We are praying for God to grow the seeds that were planted in her life. Who knew that we’d be blessed to have foreign missions come to us at camp.
Thank you, Trinity, for praying and supporting us during VBS, Camp and summer programming. I’m so very grateful for our church!

Travel Through The Easter Story
01
Apr '22
Saturday, April 16th at 10:00 am, parents and all kids (Preschool thru 5th Grade), can experience the Easter story at 5 different stations. Those stations include The Triumphal Entry, The Passover Meal, The Cross, The Tomb and He is Risen. Each station has an interactive experience which includes an activity or craft. After the stations, we will conclude with an egg hunt.
The children will also receive a “travel passport” and get a stamp for their passport at each station. The booklets tell about Jesus’ journey through his life, death and rising again.
The Easter journey will take place in the parking lot/grassy area across from the church. You may park in the lot off Bluebell Dr. and the journey will begin over by the “Office Annex” side. This will be a wonderful ministry event for you to invite your friends and neighbors. There is no cost and we’d love for our community to attend. Please make sure you bring your own Easter basket to collect eggs and crafts.

I am truly grateful to get to work with such talented, giving and loving men and women.
We are growing and will need additional teachers and workers. If you are interested in joining one of our teams, please let me know and we can talk about where our needs are in Children’s Ministry and where you could possibly fit.

First Blessing Report

Oct '21
Thank you to everyone who joined us on our Mission Trip to Kerrville. Trinity’s Mission trip included set up crew, parking lot team, greeters, registration, table hosts, servers, cooking team, transition greeters, sock & feet measuring team, shoe room, bag & box team, exit blessers, and all our prayer warriors. We had over 125 volunteers that serve our community. 229 pairs of shoes and socks were also given out as well as 250 plus meals served. Those were the numbers and yet so much more happened on Saturday.
There were lots of spiritual conversations, prayers and connections with our guests as well as within our church family that Saturday.
I’m so grateful for all the hard work that went into First Blessing from all the volunteers. One example was that set up and take down of the shoe room was done in record time and looked so good.
Thank you also to Acapulco Mexican Restaurant for donating tortillas for breakfast tacos. Thank you to Sysco Foods for donating the
orange and apple juice, and thank you to the YO Ranch Hotel.
