The Flourish in Faith concept for the 2015
Annual Giving Mission flows from last year’s
popular theme Growing God’s Kingdom and
builds on the momentum we experienced in
our previous campaign. Meeting our mission
goal enabled us to plan a solid, healthy ministry and liturgical year, and we were encouraged to imagine an even stronger response
from Trinity’s faithful family. We are excited
and thankful to be this close to successfully
reaching our goals. If you have not yet made
your pledge, please do so soon so that Trinity
can confidently implement its plan for a
flourishing 2015!
Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand. 1
