Spring Forward & Easter Horizons!



March 7, 2024


Dear Trinity Families of Children & Youth,


Please be reminded that this Sunday we are changing our clocks forward an hour as part of Daylight Savings Time! While many of our clocks auto-update if they are connected to the internet, we don't want you to mistakenly arrive an hour late to Trinity this Sunday :)


I hope everyone has been having an excelLent as I like to say, but exciting Easter preparations are underway! Easter is a mere 3 weeks ahead of us on the Church Calendar, which means it is time for the annual Holy Week and Easter Letter to Families of Children and Youth. Please be watching your snail mail for a print copy this coming week, and check out the digital version right here!


This coming Sunday we will be continuing with Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, starting as early as 9am in the atrium. Youth Group will be meeting in the Youth Room after the 10am service to continue our mini-series on the Beatitudes with an exploration of grief and lament: "Blessed are those who mourn."


We are approaching the Fourth Sunday in Lent, continuing on a journey through the wilderness that will take us to Resurrection Sunday!


With Easter anticipation,

Theo Patterson



Pysanky Eggs


This Sunday, March 10th, students in the Level 3 atrium will be working with Susan Gartrell to create Pysanky Eggs! This traditional Ukranian Easter Craft is a beautiful and enriching activity for Lent to help us prepare for Easter. I can't wait to see what our students are going to make!

Easter Egg Donations


In the coming weeks we will begin a more formal collection call for donations of Easter Eggs, candy, and stickers for our parish-wide Egg hunt after the 10am service on Easter Sunday. If you are able to contribute any of these festive items, please drop them off with Theo Patterson on an upcoming Sunday!
