The COVID crisis has put significant strain on our nation’s economy and not-for-profit organizations are facing considerable stress even as the populations they serve are increasing. While Trinity has focused on being missional (building transformative relationships with those in need), it is currently a challenge to develop and build new individual relationships.  So, during the month of August, we will focus on building our relationships with local community service providers and supporting them during this difficult time.

Each Sunday in August, during morning worship AND via video on Trinity’s website and Facebook page, you will hear from a leader at a local not-for-profit about how they serve our community, how the needs for their services have changed and grown during this pandemic, and how we can make a difference in supporting their work.  

We would like to challenge everyone at Trinity to give an additional $10/ week (a grand total of $50) toward this mission outreach.  We recognize that some within our congregation have also been financially impacted by this pandemic and, if that is your situation, ask simply that you give as you are able.  Also, if you are in a financial position to do so, larger gifts are welcomed and encouraged.  You may give in the following ways:

• By mailing your contribution to the church office.  Please mark your check or envelope “Serving Our Neighbors in Need.”
• By placing a contribution in a marked envelope that will be laid on the communion rails in the sanctuary and can be placed in the morning offering plate.
• By giving online through Trinity’s website: select “Serving Our Neighbors in Need” on the give page.
  

If you would like to indicate your gift for a specific service provider, please mark that on your check or envelope or type in the name of the service provider if you are giving online.  Or, if you do not indicate a specific provider, your gift will be divided among the five community service providers listed above.  We ask that your gift/s be given no later than September 10 so our community partners do not have a lengthy delay in receiving these much-needed funds.

While we are asked to stay physically distant from our neighbors, Trinity is getting creative in finding ways to serve our neighbors during this difficult time. Doing a grocery run for a neighbor. Cooking meals. Buying gift cards from local businesses. Hanging art up on your windows. Everyone has something to give.

How are you serving your neighbors in this time?
