Youth Ministry at Holy Trinity Hello and a very warm welcome to you if you are reading this section. There are subsections for each area of the Young People’s Ministry at Holy Trinity, but allow me to give a brief overview of each of them. But before that, I should outline why the Youth Ministry is so important. The young people of today could very well be the Church Leaders of tomorrow, and so they should be encouraged and fostered within the church. They need to be nourished and looked after in church, and not discouraged. Let us look to scripture for the proof of this. Matthew 19:14 (NIV) - Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.". With that in mind, please find various sections underneath.
HT KIDZ (Official Sunday School)
For children between P1 and P6. Teaching is employed here that goes along the same line as what the adults learn about in the service on a week to week basis.
For P6 onwards. P6 children can go to HT KIDZ or HT TOTZ, it is their decision. This is a more mature ministry and aims to help the young ones understand areas that are relevant to them. The Youth Fellowship will begin in the New Year and every young one of the applicable age is welcome to join us as we start our newest ministry venture.
ALL AGE FAMILY SERVICE On every 3rd Sunday of the month, there is an All Age Eucharist Service. This service is generally shorter than the usual service, and children usually take part in it. In general, the usual Children's Activities do not run during this service, but the Do It Yourself Creche at the back of the church is available for parents and guardians to use. This DIY Creche is not just limited to the All Age Family Service, it can be used at any time.
HOLIDAY CLUB In the Summer of 2011, a very successful Holiday Club was run. This followed the Scripture Union Teaching Programme for Holiday Clubs, Showstoppers. The three day Holiday Club was a very musical and dramatic experience, with the bible being shot through rather quickly. The children looked at the start of the World, David and Goliath, Daniel and the Lions, The Birth of Jesus and the Death of Jesus. A fun time was had by all, and Robbie Newton again wishes to thank the team who worked so very hard on this. Details will follow in Spring next year as to the 2012 Holiday Club plan.
For all of the children, they go to their groups before the service starts. The Creche and Sunday School meet in the Outer Hall, whilst the Youth Fellowship are planning to meet in the Choir Room inside the church. For the Creche and Sunday School, they rejoin the service during communion and are welcome to stay. In terms of other activities for children, at the back of the church, there is a small children's aarea that parents are encouraged to use if they wish for their child to stay in the service. Children of all ages and demoninations are very warmly welcomed to the Youth Ministry at Holy Trinity and I hope that these pages will make you think about bringing the young ones along.
The Youth Ministry is "staffed" by a team of knowlegable and trained volunteers. To find out more about the people who will work with your young people, please follow this link.
