Even in the midst of an unstable economy, Trinity has managed to pay down our mortgage nearly $2 million, increase our mission giving and generously support our operating budget.  We are a bit behind in our giving to the operating budget, but we fully expect this congregation to meet that budget in full.  Thank you for giving so generously and with such a positive spirit.

A very popular way for some people to make a gift to the church is through a Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA).  This very simple gift will provide an income for life to the donor, some tax deductions and some tax free income.  It is a win/win for the donor and the church.  Contact Troy Holloway if you wish more information on the CGA.

Trinity will be promoting volunteerism each month in hopes of encouraging our entire Trinity family to find a place to serve others. To Step Up & Sign up! please visit the tables in the back of the worship center on Servant Sundays, or contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

...that Trinity United Methodist is a charter for Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts? There are two Cub Scout packs and one Boy Scout troop chartered by Trinity. If you have a boy in 1st through 5th grade who is interested in camping, outdoor activities and learning cool things, they may want to be a Cub Scout. Boys age 10 ½ years or have completed the 5th grade are qualified to join Boy Scouts. Scouting helps develop new friends, leadership skills, respect for our environment and camping trips they would not experience in other organizations.

Stephen Ministry is based on the idea that ALL Christians are ministers. Do you have a gift for listening? Would you like to fine tune that gift through wonderful training and become one of the most important persons in Trinity's ministry? A Stephen Minister receives 50 hours of excellent training and then is ready for the absolutely vital ministry of "coming alongside" a person who needs a listening ear, and becoming a bridge to renewed wholeness. It is, without doubt, a most vital ministry.

We will be offering a training class beginning on January 5. If you are interested in becoming a Stephen Minister, please contact Stephen Leader This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
