Dear Trinity Episcopal Church,


This Sunday we are wrapping up our annual pledge campaign! Thank you to everyone who supports our church through your financial gifts. This allows our Vestry and leadership to plan for the future so that we may continue growing in faith. 


If you have not already made a pledge, you can place your pledge card in the offering plate this Sunday, click the link below, or contact the church office directly.


As we thank God for Trinity Church, we will also gather this Sunday to celebrate All Saints' Day. Our choir is preparing some special music, featuring Joseph Haydn's "Little Organ Mass." Join us for this feast day!


In Christ,

Jimmy

As we wrap up our pledge campaign, I encourage you to watch this video from last Sunday featuring Trinity member and parent John Prochaska. John touches on the impact your pledge donations have on raising our children and youth to know and love God.

Serve on Trinity’s Vestry!

The Vestry of Trinity Episcopal Church is composed of twelve lay people who oversee the financial and temporal concerns of the parish. These lay members are elected by the parish every year at the Annual Meeting in January. If you are interested in serving on the Vestry or learning about what they do, please attend our Vestry Informational Meeting at 9:30am on Sunday, November 1 in the Kelso Room. Or, you may contact our Senior Warden, Olivia Meyer with the button below.
