Childrens ministry

Trinity’s Jubilation in Your Home & at Church is your family’s opportunity to share God’s Word, mercy and life together in Jesus, making disciples at home with support from Trinity’s Family of God at church. If you have questions or ideas about Jubilation, please contact DCE Scott Rauch at 309-251-2623 or scottmrauch@gmail.com. The Jubilation in Your Home! family bags are available for pickup in the Foyer.

Jubilation at Home in December

The Wise Men visit the "Wisdom of God" who is the toddler Jesus, bringing gifts fit for the King of kings. Parents, give time to your child/ren to lead them into this story about our King Jesus.

Parents, remember each month at home your family can:

  • Older Children - Read from the "Action Bible" pages 532-541.
  • Younger Reader - The Arch Book "Once Upon a Clear Dark Night."
  • Youngest Child - "The Storybook Bible" pages 192-199.
  • Read the Matthew 2:1-12 story right from your Bible with your child/ren at least twice this month.
  • Watch the video "The King's Visitors!" on the Trinity Jubilation YouTube channel. CLICK HERE to go to the channel.
  • FAMILY PRAYER TENT CARD: Take time to pray the Lord's Prayer as a family on a regular basis. Use the suggested Lord's Prayer petition.
  • REMEMBERING WORK: Have your family speak together Matthew 2:11 twice a week.
  • WORSHIP LITURGY FOCUS: Read the online KIDS-Offering and Offertory sheet as a family and have your child/ren use the Fold and Do 32 Sheet included in the packet.
  • LUTHER'S SMALL CATECHISM: Read Sacrament of the Altar Parts 1-5 on pages 21-22.
Download, print and have your kid work with any of the ACTIVITY SHEETS or make one of the extra crafts!
