Over the past decade, the Word of God has been preached from Trinity's pulpit over 550 times by 36 different preachers. As we consider the preaching of the Word of God the focal point of our worship service, we're pleased to preserve and offer our entire sermon archive here. To find a specific sermon, use the dropdown menu below, browse through all our series, or use the search function in the main menu. Note that the "Listen" option plays only the sermon, while the "Watch" option includes the recording of the entire worship service (our sermons usually begin about 45 minutes into the service).

The sheets below give information on 4s-1st and 2nd-5th Sunday School classes, along with the memory verses and catechism questions/answers for the month. The current month is bolded, but we maintain an archive of past sheets for reference as well. The Sunday School teachers also distribute these sheets to students each month.
Lobby - During Fellowship Hour, and after Worship Service
To encourage our children to hide God’s Word in their hearts and learn the tenets of our Reformed faith, we maintain a Memory Prize System that rewards children who can recite verses and catechism answers at church on a weekly basis.
Any child up through 5th grade can participate in the prize box system. Participation is not mandatory, but all children through 5th grade are welcome.
How can my child earn points?
Points each month can be earned by:
Filling out sermon pages
Memorizing the monthly Bible verses taught in YWIT and Sunday school
Memorizing the monthly catechisms taught in YWIT and Sunday school
Each verse, catechism, and sermon page for the month will be worth 1 point (9 or 10 points possible per month). Students will receive a sticker each Sunday that they recite their verse/catechism or turn in their sermon sheet.
Who can students get stickers/prizes from?
Alexis Zintak and Esther Doolan will be taking turns with this responsibility. Every month we will send out an email with the catechisms and memory verses and also note who will be handling prizes that month.
When can students get stickers/prizes?
Students can receive stickers for reciting verses/catechisms and turning in sermon sheets to Alexis or Esther:
During Fellowship Hour (near the Welcome Table)
After the Worship Service (near the Welcome Table)
On the last Sunday of the month only, students will be able to turn in their points for prizes. Students are also welcome to save their points to earn a larger prize the next month.
Young Worshipper in Training (YWIT)
Room B212 during Worship Service
TPC provides Young Worshipper in Training (YWIT) twice a month during a portion of the worship service. While many churches offer a full service for children each week, we want children worshipping with their families routinely. Families are not required to use YWIT, and we do not view children as a nuisance in the service. On the contrary, we value children (even infants) participating simply by being exposed to corporate worship with their families.
YWIT is currently offered on the first and third Sundays of each month. YWIT is intended for children at least 3 years old but not yet 6. After the children's message, parents should quietly escort their children to the 4s–1st grade Sunday School classroom. YWIT volunteers will return children to the sanctuary after the sermon. Parents should tell children to find their seats quietly.
The primary purpose of YWIT is to train children to worship well and understand our liturgical practices. While children benefit from worshiping alongside their parents, YWIT provides an opportunity to engage children with tailored material that increases their understanding of our spiritual practices. The YWIT liturgy mirrors the adult service, including, children’s hymns, Scripture memorization, a catechism, and a Bible lesson. YWIT volunteers lead children through this material, teaching them what these activities signify and why we do them.
YWIT also provides an opportunity to engage our children in a manner that increases multi-generational interaction. Members who teach YWIT are helping raise the next generation of Christians in accordance with their membership vows, and for some, this is an excellent introduction to spiritual instruction or a model for family worship with children.
