A Ministry for Families Expecting and Raising Young Children

Almighty God, heavenly Father, you have blessed us with the joy and care of children: Give us calm strength and patient wisdom as we bring them up, that we may teach them to love whatever is just and true and good, following the example of our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.Book of Common Prayer, page 829

What is the Guild of the Christ Child?

Trinity Woodlands - Guild of the Christ Child

The Guild of the Christ Child is an organization that serves to support families with children ages 0-4. The Guild works towards supporting families after the birth or adoption of a child, celebrating with families at the time of their child's baptism, improving our Nursery facilities and offering volunteers on Sundays, and planning some activities for the young children and their families. We hope to help each family and young child find their place within the Trinity family.

When You Are Expecting A Child!

The arrival of a new baby is a joyous and hectic time in each family's life. As your church family, we share your joy and excitement. We also know that this can be an exhausting, worrisome and confusing time. Please notify the church as soon as your baby arrives. A member of the Guild of the Christ Child will tell you about all of the things the church can provide for support during this busy time. Also, a rose will be set at the altar in your child's honor soon after their arrival. A member of the Guild of the Christ Child will deliver the rose, as well as a small welcome packet, to offer our best wishes from your church family.

At Your Child's Baptism

The Sacrament of baptism is a special time for each family. The Guild of the Christ Child hopes to help celebrate this joyous occasion by offering a small gift to the child and recognizing the importance with each family.

A Place For Our Smallest Members At Church

As parents of small children, whether you are long-time members or visiting with us, you want to have peace of mind that your children are safe and well-cared for while you worship and learn. The Nursery provides professional childcare for children up to and including 3 years of age on Sunday mornings, and for a variety of activities during the week. Nursery personnel are screened and trained to provide expert care for your children. There is a baby room for our littlest members, a toddler room for when they need a slightly different space, and an adjacent playground for outdoor play. The guild helps to provide church volunteers to staff the baby room and assists with any improvements to the church Nursery.

A Time For Fellowship

Throughout the year, the Guild offers several events where young families can meet and get to know one another better. These events are an opportunity for each family to get together in a relaxed atmosphere and act as a support group filled with families going through the excitement of raising young children.
