Come and share the joys of Sunday School at Trinity Great Swamp!
Sunday school meets mornings from 9:15– 10:15
We have a room for everyone!
We will resume Sunday School September 12th.
We extend an invitation to everyone to attend Sunday School. As Christians, we have a Christ-given responsibility to thoughtfully study scripture, to clearly understand the true nature of God and God’s will for us. What better way to understand God’s will for us then by joining one of our classes. We have classes from Toddler through Senior High and two Adult classes. The Adult classes are: Bible Study and Adult Discussion. Toddlers through Middle High will be using, “Living the Good News” which is lectionary based. The Senior High class uses varied resources. The Adult Bible Study class will be studying 2nd Thessalonians.

Mission Projects:
 Shopping Cart: Each week Sunday School students are encouraged to bring donations of canned goods for the Upper Bucks Food Pantry. A shopping cart is pushed from class to class and offers a powerful visual reminder of the power of group effort. On occasion (i.e. Souper Sunday or March Madness) a special offering is organized and additional offerings are collected.
Sunday, February 1st is designated as “Souper Sunday.” We will attempt once again to fill two shopping carts with food. Please help us accomplish this goal.
- Compassion International: As a Sunday School we support Nahom Assef , a friend living in Ethiopia. Each month a different class writes to Nahom sharing thoughts, stories, pictures, and a bit of their life. The class also collects a special offering. Nahom sends letters to us about 3 times each year sharing stories of his life.
 The Second Mile Fund: The 2 adult classes accept weekly offerings for ad-hoc projects throughout the year.
- The Sunday School loves to work with Social Ministry on special assignments. In the past we’ve helped with projects like Emergency Buckets for Church World Service and purchasing meat for the food bank.
Christian education doesn’t stop on Sunday!
