Sundays at 10 AM
Church School meets at 10 AM downstairs in the undercroft on most Sundays — every Sunday except Family Worship Sundays (see below). Our kindergarten through 5th grade classes use the Godly Play curriculum — a Montessori-inspired approach to Christian formation developed by Jerome Berryman that honors children as naturally spiritual beings, already in relationship with God. Rather than simply conveying facts about scripture, Godly Play invites children into the biblical story through carefully crafted narrative, three-dimensional wooden figures and materials, and open-ended "wondering questions" that encourage genuine theological reflection.
On Family Worship Sundays — the first Sunday of every month (“All-In Sunday”) and any fifth Sunday, plus holiday weekends and school vacations (we follow the Concord school calendar) — children join the full liturgy upstairs, serving as readers, acolytes, ushers, or choir members. On other Sundays, children come upstairs before Communion to rejoin their families, so the whole family can receive together.
Children gather around the story materials during a Godly Play session — one of the moments of wondering that shapes Trinity's Church School experience.

Infants & Toddlers
Our nursery provides loving, professional care for infants through age 4 during the 10 AM Sunday service. Two adult care providers are ready to welcome and watch your little ones in a safe, clean, and cheerful space.
The nursery room runs a professional air purifier and toys are cleaned and sanitized weekly. For parents who wish to stay with their child, the worship service is live-streamed on a flat-screen TV in the nursery — and parents are always welcome to come upstairs for communion.
Trinity's youngest members bring energy and joy to our parish life every Sunday.
Music & Formation
Trinity's Junior Choir offers children a wonderful gift: learning to sing sacred music in the context of worship. Based on the model of the Royal School of Church Music, the choir teaches children not only how to sing and read music, but how to understand the texts they sing — connecting music directly to the life of faith.
The Junior Choir is for singers in grades 2–4. Once enough singers have signed up, the choir rehearses on Thursday afternoons — so if your child loves to sing, let Robert know! Every new voice helps get the group started.
"In addition to learning how to sing and read music, singers learn the music for worship in context and sometimes have lively conversations about the texts."
Older singers in grades 5–10 can join our Youth Choir — see Youth & Teens.
Sacramental Life
Trinity warmly welcomes families who wish to have their children baptized into the Body of Christ. Baptism is the foundation of Christian life — not merely a ceremony, but a full and permanent initiation into the community of faith.
"Holy Baptism is full initiation by water and the Holy Spirit into Christ's Body the Church. The bond which God establishes in Baptism is indissoluble." — Book of Common Prayer, p. 298
Baptisms at Trinity are typically celebrated at the Great Vigil of Easter, the Day of Pentecost, All Saints' Day, and the Feast of the Baptism of Our Lord. We encourage families to be in contact with the parish office well in advance to prepare.
