Pledge Card Weekend
|
|
The 2026-2028 Capital Campaign IV is upon us and next week, November 22 and 23, is pledge card weekend. Hopefully everyone by now has received an e-mail and a letter with a pledge card. Extra pledge cards will be available next to the offering plates at the Parish Hall and in the naive. We encourage everyone to consider their personal blessing and the blessing of Trinity as you prayerfully consider your three year commitment to helping pay down the capital improvements at the church and school. Our goal is to raise 750 to 800 thousand over three years to maintain our monthly payments. While next weekend is pledge weekend, you may also mail your pledge into the church office if you will be out of town or place them in the offering plate in the following weeks. Thank you.

The Year in Review: Last Sunday of the Church Year

The Last Sunday of the Church Year is swiftly approaching!

Each season of the Church Year emphasizes a different aspect of the person and work of Jesus Christ. If you’ve ever wondered why we follow the liturgical calendar and what the changing colors mean, come join us for worship! Saturday, November 22 at 5:30pm at the School Campus and Sunday, November 23 at 8:00am and 10:30am at the Downtown Campus!
