TrinityBanner Newsletter

Summer Kids Sunday School takes a little bit different direction. Each week includes a craft that relates to one of the readings. Last Sunday Ms Stephanie taught now Jesus carries the weight of our worries in a yoke.

Trinity Lutheran 071223b

When your worries are heavy. Give them to Jesus who will carry them. Brian, a previous student was recruited to help with this lesson. I think the weight program in school helped him hold up both buckets of bricks. He was a trooper.

The kids then to their classrooms and made their own yokes and used marshmallows instead.
