Education at Holy Trinity
Holy Trinity Evangelical
Lutheran Church is committed to a Christian education
program for all ages that fosters the strengthening of faith
in Christ and deepens knowledge of Christian doctrine and
ethics. Instruction is founded on the solid rock of Holy
Scriptures and the Lutheran Confessions. The assumption of
the program is that the Bible is truly the inspired Word of
God that is not to be pre-empted by modern philosophies or
trends. The Confessions, collected in the Book of Concord
of 1580, faithfully reflect the Church's public
interpretation of the Holy Scriptures. In accordance with
their ordination vows, the pastors regard faithful teaching
to be at the core of their pastoral leadership. This
commitment of pastors and people is to be reflected in the
Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, Bible studies,
theological studies, and Confirmation program of the
congregation. We pray that Christ, the Word made
flesh, would keep us faithful. We praise the Holy and
Blessed Trinity, One God in Three Persons, who has created,
redeemed, and sanctified us. May our faith in Him be
strengthened and our understanding increased.

Topic: Helping Others Change
Leader: Pastor Tavella
Time: 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.
Description: God’s powerful grace equips every believer to
help others grow.
In this dynamic twelve-lesson text, author Paul David Tripp provides
expert instruction to those who desire to encourage practical change
within the setting of a church training session, small group, Sunday
school, or personal study. The author walks individuals through each
specific step by first setting the biblical foundation of how God
changes hearts and lives; and how believers can learn to be
instruments of change in God’s redemptive hands. Topics include:
targeting the heart; understanding the basic heart struggle;
building relationships where God’s work will thrive; meaningfully
understanding people; speaking truth in love; and applying change to
everyday life.
Individuals will discover that studying these principles will not
only deepen their own relationship with Christ; but they will learn
how God practically equips every believer for this important work of
helping others change. This manual provides extensive lesson
content, homework discussion, CPR - Central truth/Personal
application/Relationships application, detailed illustrations, group
discussion guide, and "Make it Real" life applications. Used in
conjunction with the workbook, churches will benefit from this
curriculum as it practically shifts some of the caring burden from a
select number of people to the congregation at large. By using this
guide, individuals will be better equipped to facilitate meaningful
and lively discussion among their peers (as well as strengthening
their ability to become an instrument of transformational change in
the lives of others.)

Sunday School Curriculum: Our Life in Christ
9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.
Pre K – 4th grade
Our Life in Christ lessons emphasize the Gospel—the Good News
about Christ—at each and every grade level! Our Life in Christ is
anchored on the Bible, God's Word.
No two Sunday school classrooms are alike. They vary in the number
of students, the communities from which they come, the classrooms in
which they learn, the things they already know, the skills they
possess. Yet all students need the same thing—they need to hear,
clearly and consistently, the Good News that God loves them and has
redeemed them from sin and death through His Son, Jesus! They need
help and guidance in applying God's Word to their lives as Jesus’
disciples.
