We wanted to take a moment and recognize all those who have courageously defended our freedom to worship Jesus. Thank you for fighting for our country and our freedom.


Proud of our nation,

they answered her call -

Defending the freedom

and safety of all,

On land or on the sea,

or in jets high above,

They went out of duty

and honor and love,

But however they served, Lord,

wherever they went,

Please bless them and help them

to know what it meant!

And help us to thank them

on Veterans Day -

For we owe them far more

than we could ever say


THANK YOU!

Stewardship Update


Hello Trinity,


On behalf of the Stewardship Team, I want to give you heartfelt thanks for your generous outpouring of support for Trinity's community through your pledges and our efforts to be Enough despite all that divides us in today's world. Our budget goal is $775,000, which would allow us to pay 100% of our apportionments and maintain a balanced budget. We need $601,000 in pledges to make that happen. As of today, we have received $313,282 in pledges – or 52% of our goal.


For those who still need to make your pledge, there is still time! We'd greatly appreciate you doing so as soon as possible, so we can thoughtfully plan for the coming year. These pledges allow us to set priorities to effectively make disciples of Jesus Christ and offer healing, help, and hope in his name.

BRING YOUR ORNAMENTS! This year we are trying something new and asking for your help us decorate our Christmas trees by bringing a super fun ornament that represents your family or one with a family photo to add to the community tree. Bring your ornament on Sunday, December 4, to either service. There will be an empty tree in need of decorating both in the Narthex and Memorial Fellowship Hall.


Pro Tip: Don't bring a family heirloom by any means but a fun ornament or one with a family picture!
