VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL

Vacation Bible School is a fun, God-centered event that happens each summer, and children ages 3 and up are welcome!  It is free and includes a tasty meal and a t-shirt for everyone attending.  Our last Vacation Bible School was a renowned success with more than 65 children from our church and local community attending. VBS is a week full of faith, friendship, and epic adventures that help kids of all ages encounter God’s amazing love for them. This year we are using the “True North” program. VBS will be held 13-17 July from 5:30-8pm each day. Volunteers are needed to ensure this will be another amazing experience for the children.

In the True North VBS program, kids will be pointed to Jesus, a faithful friend we can always trust. Children will be taken on the ultimate Alaskan adventure, where the northern lights shine over majestic mountains, racing rivers, and sparkling glaciers. As they trek the tundra, they’ll discover how easy it is to lose sight of what's true in our wild world today. Guiding them towards Jesus, True North VBS reveals that He is a faithful friend we can always trust. He's our True North! Kids will foster a deeper connection with our faithful friend, Jesus, while discovering the great Alaskan frontier. As kids trek through the tundra of Alaska and experience what it means to trust in Jesus, they will prepare for amazing faith connections to unfold!

SPORTING ACTIVITES

Holy Trinity Lutheran Church is one of the very few churches in our local area that has indoor, climate-controlled facilities available for youth to play basketball, volleyball, and dodgeball....ideal for hot summers, rainy days, and cold winters.  Activities for families are occasionally scheduled, and kids can play sports at our facilities with their friends.

NATIONAL ELCA YOUTH GATHERINGS

Our high-school age youth have the opportunity to attend this exciting national gathering of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.  It is held every 3 years in a different U.S. city.  Each convention has a specific theme, with each theme focused on certain scripture passages from the Bible.  The gathering lasts 5 days, and each day is focused on different kinds of service.  Aspects of this inspirational meeting for youth include faith formation, worship, Bible study, fellowship, service, and interactive learning.  This is a positive and purposeful way to influence God's activity in the lives of our young people.  Several of our youth and adult chaperones attended the gathering in Houston with 31,000 other children who all experienced fun, Christ-centered events that will forever transform their lives through new friendships, learning, personal growth, and lasting positive memories.

yOUTH SUNDAY

Our annual Youth Sunday Christmas Program happens in December. One of our pastors is available to distribute the elements for Communion during the service. Once a year our youth lead a Sunday service with songs, a puppet show, scripture readings, and inspirational service messages.  This is an important way for our youth to demonstrate leadership, share the Word with others, and embrace the importance of God in their lives.
