Stewardship 2026–2027
Plenty Good Room
Our stewardship season, “Plenty Good Room,” may have come to a close, but our journey of faith and generosity continues year-round.
Stewardship is about more than financial giving. It is about sharing our time, talents, resources, and love as we grow in faith, strengthen our church family, and extend God’s welcome to our neighbors.
We are grateful for all who have participated, and for the many gifts each person brings to our congregation. There is always an opportunity to support our church's life and ministries. Whether through a financial contribution, a new or continued pledge, volunteering your time, or sharing your talents, every gift makes a difference.
There is Plenty Good Room at God’s table! Whether you have been part of our church for years or are just getting to know us, there is a place for you. Together, we continue to grow in faith, generosity, and love.

Exciting things are coming for
Trinity's children and youth!
We are currently developing our new Sunday School program and incorporating a Godly Play classroom. To start, the telling of these stories will be scheduled for the second Sunday of the month at 9:30 AM while we establish the program.
As we gather supplies and materials for our Sunday School and younger children’s Godly Play classroom, we have created an Amazon Wish List for those who would like to support our efforts.

We are excited to see Trinity continue to grow as a place where children, youth, and families can learn, wonder, play, and grow together in faith.

It would be the perfect time for an "ofrenda" theme. The idea is to remember the people we've lost and celebrate them with happy memories, photos, and keepsakes on a memorial table. It could be meaningful for many, and a lovely way to honor the love and spirit of those who came before us. We're also thinking of a churchyard scavenger hunt, since it fits in with Day of the Dead.
Here's a rough timeline for the evening:
- 5:30-6:00 p.m.: Arrival, welcome, and time to visit the memorial table
- 6:00-6:30 p.m.: Dinner in the gym/parish hall (tacos, chili, cookies, and more)
- 6:30-7:00 p.m.: Churchyard scavenger hunt
- 7:00-7:30 p.m.: "Stump the Priest," followed by a closing reflection and pickup
