Trinity Trumpeter | February 2, 2024 | |
Hey Trinity,
Our theme for this year’s Stewardship Campaign is "Intertwined." Below, you will find some of the many things about Trinity that inspire us to give. We hope that you will consider all the ways Trinity has inspired you as you consider making your 2024 estimate of giving pledge. Over the last year, here is a glimpse of how your giving has intertwined with the spiritual growth and spreading of Christ's love because of you through Trinity:
- Revitalize our Sunday worship volunteers to include more volunteer recognition and dedicated space.
- Welcomed 26 New Members and 15 Baptisms.
- Partnered with RightNow Media to give FREE access to the world’s most extensive streaming library of video Bible study resources.
- Implement quarterly church-wide dinners to encourage more fellowship.
- Maintain our ministries and programs, support our staff, and invest in our facilities.

We hope you'll join us in experiencing how intertwined our giving is with our faith in Christ, Love and obeying God, and love for others, which is an essential component in our stewardship journey.
- Prayerfully consider what you can give.
- Complete the digital promise card by clicking the button below.
- Return your pledge card on commitment Sunday February 11.
The promise cards help us prepare for the coming year. They allow us to set priorities to have an effective impact in making disciples of Jesus Christ and offering healing, help, and hope in his name. Together, we are making an impact for Christ. Rest assured that any information provided is kept confidential.
We cannot thank you enough! Being a partner in changing the lives of individuals and enriching our community is rewarding. We can't wait to continue to partner to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.
God Bless,
Stewardship Team

Jersey / Commitment Sunday
We did this last year and are excited to bring it back! On Superbowl Sunday, February 11, you are invited to wear your favorite sports team jersey or t-shirt at church! It doesn’t even have to be football.
This will also be Commitment Sunday, where you have the opportunity to bring your pledge card for 2024 forward to be blessed. We hope you'll join us!

Quarterly Family Potluck & Ash Wednesday Service | |
|
It's time for our next quarterly family potluck, and this one is Valentine's Day! We hope you'll join us with your favorite dish as we gather together in fellowship on Wednesday, February 14, at 5:00 p.m. in the Memorial Fellowship Hall. You'll be able to meet other church members and hear updates from a few ministries.
Not only is it Valentine's Day, but it is Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent! Ash Wednesday marks the start of the Lenten period leading up to Easter. We use ashes to symbolize our humanity, mortality, death, and repentance. This year we are hosting a combined service at 6:00 p.m. in the Memorial Fellowship Hall.
We can't wait to celebrate both Valentine's Day and honor Ash Wednesday with you!

Our Spring/Summer Parent Meeting is on February 4 from 5:30 to 7:30 pm. Can you believe we are already into the Spring Semester?

Happily Ever After Worship Night - Feb. 25
Our February Worship Night will be on the 25th from 6-7:30 p.m. Our theme in Happily Ever After, sounds nauseating or absolutely dreamy, I'm sure. But stick with me, our guest speakers Cory and Stephanie are going to talk about the joys and trials of going through life single, dating, and married and how to navigate life with Jesus in all phases. So find your princess dress or put on your prince attire and come ready to worship!
