Church School Mission Opportunities

May's Mission of the Month is...Peru! In May, Trinity's Church School classes will begin a month-long mission of helping less fortunate children in Peru by collecting NEW and UNOPENED "children's meal" toys.  Mission Team Leader Arlene Van Horn has this to say..."Although there are McDonald's and other fast food restaurants in Peru, the cost for a meal is too expensive for the people to purchase a "children's meal" for their child.  So the TUMC Team going down in July 2013 would like to take down, NEW and UNOPENED  "children's meal" toys from any of the various fast food restaurants around town.  We will be with over 100 children and would love to have each child get a new toy!"

Parent's Group Offerings

Sacred Parenting

Parenting a child is an in-depth course on spiritual formation, expressly designed by God to shape your soul in ways you cannot imagine.  What if one of God's primary intentions for you as a parent isn't about successfully raising perfect chldren, but about you becoming more holy?  Sacred Parenting helps you look at parenting from a different perspective. With the help of a video featuring author Gary Thomas, we'll explore a roadmap of spiritual growth through the children that God has given us to parent. Sacred Parenting will help you learn how God can transform dirty diapers, a toddler's tantrums, and a teenager's silence, in order to transform you into a person who reflects the image of Christ.

 

Dates: 1st Thursday of the month

Time: 9:45 - 11:30 a.m.

Location: Chancel Choir Room (Room 108)

Led by: Donna Torkos (908) 684-8284 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
