Sunday, May 29, 9am
Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) program begins as early as 9am. The children moving into Level 2 and Level 3 next year will be introduced to their future atriums and will be acknowledged at the end of the10am service. This will be the children's final Sunday in the atrium (because next Sunday, we'll use our CGS time to prepare for the Pentecost service). It will be a time for reflection and preparation for our transition to Summer Sacred Arts.
In the children's building, we host children who are too young to receive vaccinations. For this reason, we ask that all people (children and adults) wear masks when in the children's building.
Registration for CGS children, age 3 through 6th grade is here.

Diana Small, Director of Children and Youth, is gathering volunteers to work with children in the Parish Hall for Summer Sacred arts every Sunday in summer during the 10am service, starting June 12.
We are still looking for folks to volunteer as a Project Leader! Perhaps you have a creative project to share with the children (visual art, music, sciences, anything creative that piques the spiritual curiosity of the child). A sign-up sheet will be at coffee hour on Sundays or email Diana at dsmall@trinitysb.org if you are interested.
Volunteers would need to arrive by 9:45am and assist helping the children for roughly an hour, until communion time.

Vestry Member Testimonials
On May 8, Junior Warden Stephen Singleton addressed the congregation at both services. He spoke about Trinity being "back together this Easter season, this time of resurrection and renewal. Like our church garden, we as a parish family are experiencing a resurgence of energy and growth following a long winter of dormancy in our many ministries and programs at Trinity." He goes on to say "We are community of faithful, giving people that pray together, learn together, and acknowledge life’s struggles and challenges together. We do this as a parish family because we care and desire to embody our Christian values. I think of Trinity Church as a community of stewards; stewards in the careful and responsible management of something entrusted to our care. " Read the full testimonial here.
