Tithes and Offerings
Every day presents new opportunities for the people of God to give of their time, talents and resources. At Trinity Church, we encourage our worshippers, members and friends to give generously towards the pursuit of God’s mission as discerned by this community of faith. Such giving recognizes that it takes staff, facilities, and ministry or program funds to equip the church to undertake and complete its work. God challenges us, in thanksgiving for all that we have and do receive, to trust God enough to support God’s church with the biblical tithe, one tenth of a person’s income. We ask that you view your giving as an extension of your faith life. Your active faith life has a beginning (a time when you can see yourself getting more interested in God, in church, in God’s purpose for your life) . . . it grows . . . and it reaps benefits for us as well as others. A first step towards faithful giving (i.e., giving that reflects your fulfillment of what you say you will do), is to make a pledge to the church. You do not have to wait until the annual stewardship campaign to make a pledge. Contact the church office and request a pledge card today. Completing a pledge card enables the church to be better stewards of God’s money by being better able to plan. When you have submitted your pledge card, we will send you envelopes to use. These envelopes help us keep accurate records and report back to you your giving. While we do appreciate those who are willing to pledge, we realize that not everyone is ready to make the commitment. We also welcome your financial gifts at the time of the offertory and provide envelopes in the pews for those who prefer using an envelope.
Commemorative Paver Bricks
Commemorative Paver Bricks are one way you can offer thanksgiving or a lasting remembrance of a loved one and/or event. Paver Bricks are installed at the circular intersection of sidewalks in front of our nave (main church entrance) doors. All persons coming for worship pass by this circle whether they climb the stairs or use our handicap access ramp. Your commemorative paver, engraved in thanksgiving, celebration or memorial, will become a permanent fixture in this paver circle. Proceeds help offset the expense of our recent handicap accessibility renovations. Commemorative bricks cost $150 each, and have room for up to 60 characters (letters, spaces or punctuation). The inscribed text may be set in as many as three lines of characters (each line limited to 20 characters). To order a brick, please complete an order form and return it (or them) to the church office, attention Kathi Justus. Checks should be made payable to Trinity Episcopal Church, earmarked “Paver Brick.” There is no limit on the number of bricks you may order.
