The portion of the congregation that is made up of the youth is truly
the heart of Trinity Episcopal Church. Every Sunday they participate in
the service as crucifer, acolytes, and often as lay readers. They give a
fresh perspective to worship. Every Wednesday night all school age
children of the parish take part in a “one room” lesson. They meet each
week during the months of September to May.
Trinity was selected to host the 2009 Diocesan Youth Convention to be
held at the Lake Poinsett Church Camp on August 21-23. In the past year
the youth group, made up of Junior and senior high children, raised
enough money to hire the nationally known Christian rock band Bread of
Stone, to play at the convention. Highlighting the past year was
planning for the convention and projects to raise funds to carry out
their plans. One special project was planning and serving the Valentine
Dinner. An outreach project was the filling of Easter baskets for the
children housed or in counseling at the Women’s Shelter. These young
people are proof that if you live in faith anything is possible.
