Stewardship 2026–2027

Plenty Good Room



Plenty Good Room: Growing Together in Faith


Our stewardship journey, “Plenty Good Room,” continues! Stewardship is about more than financial giving. It’s 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 the many gifts each person brings to our congregation. Throughout our stewardship season, we’ll continue to celebrate the ways God is working through our church and the opportunities we have to make a difference together.


There is Plenty Good Room at God’s table! Whether you’ve been part of our church for years or are just getting to know us, there’s a place for you. Come join us as we grow together in faith, generosity, and love.

Tour at Old Norbourne Cemetery


Date: Sunday 11/1/2026

Time: Noon

Location:127 West South St., Martinsburg


At 12Noon on All Saint’s Sunday 11-01-2026 the Reverend Deacon Nicole Taggart will provide a tour at Old Norbourne Cemetery at 127 West South Street Martinsburg.


Old Norbourne was established in 1772 and is the site of the original Trinity Episcopal Church. It is the permanent resting place of people who witnessed the beginning of our country, when our country was divided and when Martinsburg had emerging industries. Old Norbourne also is associated with local legends. All are welcome.

Deacon Nicole enjoys local history and is a docent at the General Adam Stephen House. Your questions about the history of the cemetery and local legends -including the alleged ghosts- are encouraged.



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.

Faith, Fellowship, and Fun: Eastern Deanery Youth Night at Trinity


Trinity Martinsburg recently welcomed youth from across the Eastern Deanery for an evening filled with fellowship, games, food, and fun! From Oreo challenges and a Halloween-themed movie to ice cream sundaes and Compline in the chapel, it was a wonderful opportunity for young people to connect and share in community. Click the button below to read more about this special evening!


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
