Children and Family Ministries (CFM) - The primary responsibility of this team is to evaluate, plan and implement a ministry that supports the faith development of families and children between baptism and confirmation, including but not limited to: weekly Sunday school, vacation bible school, confirmation program, Stepping Stones, etc. This ministry team should also see the Little Bear Child Development program as a ministry partner. Emphasis should be given to discipleship development

1. Confirmation News
   Confirmation Youth Study the Ten Commandments Our confirmation program begins this Fall on Saturday, , from 10:00am – 1:00pm at church, exploring in depth the ten commandments. We will also be taking field trips, visiting community organizations that help us live out our faith. Please keep our confirmation youth in your prayers.

   Trinity United & Sagrado Corazon Unite in Sunday School This year Trinity United and Sagrado Corazon will try a bold experiment – to share Sunday School! This cooperative ministry should strengthen both congregations and offer our community something unique – both English and Spanish worship offered weekly, with bi-lingual Sunday School in between, from 11 a.m. until noon. We hope to attract new families to our churches through this new opportunity. The first day of Sunday School will be September 18.
   
   We’ll need NEW EFFORT with this new effort, though. Members of all ages are encouraged to sign up to help with making a craft, bringing in cookies, sharing a Bible Story, or just loving our kids. You have gifts that are unique and wonderful. Please sign up in Larson Hall, and see Debbie Shaffer or Pastor Rich if you have any questions.
3. Youth and Adult Christmas Program

Dress rehearsal is scheduled Saturday, December 17 from 10:00 a.m. to Noon. Come and worship with a service of lessons and carols for all ages!

Sundays after the Epiphany: Green is used for its symbolism of our growth in Christ. Green, in a sense, is a "neutral color," used when more festive or more somber color is not appointed.
Ash Wednesday: Black is the preferred color, since it is the color of the ashes to which we will all return. Purple is the alternate color for this first day of Lent.
Lent: Purple is indicated, as the stark color of repentance and solemnity
