Thanksgiving Offering

It is about that time! Every year Trinity’s Thanksgiving offering is put into our Christian Care Fund. These funds are then disbursed when a member of Trinity submits a request for assistance for anyone in the community (members and non-members). The requestor then becomes the giver of this blessing to those in need. Offering Mercy to the hurting.

Please prayerfully consider your offering this year.

God allows many opportunities for us to meet people who don’t know Him as their Savior. In work, in recreation, in community events, and in friendships they are there if we take the time to see and notice them. Who will come across your path that needs a word of hope or an act of kindness and love motivated by God’s love for you this week?
