Report on Giving

Ephesians 6:6-8, “Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but like slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men, because you know that the Lord will reward everyone for whatever good he does, whether he is slave or free.”

$7,352.57 was given in support of all Trinity's ministries.  We thank God for these blessings that He has bestowed on Trinity.

The nominating committee is accepting applications/nominations for active, confirmed members of Trinity interested in standing for election to fill four vacant positions on the Congregation Council. Four nominees will be elected by the congregation at the annual meeting, Sunday, January 31, 2010. The term for elected council members is three years.

Gifts That Give Twice

Our family continues a tradition of giving gifts that give twice.  We have come to enjoy Trinity Lutheran Church’s Gifts of Hope program. Here’s how it works:  The gift giving is simple.  On several Sundays, November 29 and then December 6, 13, and 20, buyers can pick a charitable organization from a catalog compiled by the Social Ministry Committee.  Each buyer selects an amount to contribute to the designated organization.  Finally, the gift buyer names a gift receiver.  That person’s name appears as the contributor to the charitable organization.

The Social Ministry Committee and helpers do the rest of the work.  Talented volunteers make a handsomely scripted card that names the organization, the designated donor, and the gift giver.  That card is delivered to the giver in the weeks before Christmas.  These cards work as excellent stocking stuffers, mailed gifts, or under-the- tree presents.

Organizations locally, nationally, or internationally benefit from our giving, and we benefit too.  We give family members the joy of knowing that someone in need has been helped in their name.  Try giving a gift that gives twice.  What a way to celebrate the birth of Christ who has given us the greatest gift of all.  Mike Delliquadri, Social Ministry Committee

21st, Give thanks that God raises people to lend hands and feet, heads and hearts to do God’s work in the world. Ask that God continue to raise up leaders with wisdom and faithfulness to lead congregations as outposts of mission to the world.
