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 MAY

Mary Magalene announced to all the disciples, including us, "I have seen the Lord!" While we have not "seen" the physical human body Jesus, we have His presence with us all over the place -- think with your child/ren as you read this story how we "see" the Lord and what that means for us right now!

Parents, remember each month at home your family can:

  • Older Children - Read from the "Action Bible," pages 641-644.
  • Younger Reader - The Arch Book "The Story of  the Empty Tomb"
  • Youngest Child - The "The Storybook Bible," pages 310-317.
  • Read right from your Bible with your child/ren at least twice  this month about Jesus' resurrection from John 20.
  • Watch the video "Jesus' Resurrection" 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.
