Save Some Trees—Give Online: 2019 Offering Envelopes If you aren’t already giving online, now is the time to start! It’s easy to set up, ensures timely and regular donations that help us budget and plan more accurately, and saves the environment! Traditionally, Trinity has purchased envelopes for every member, but we’d like to narrow it down to those who want and use them.
Consider setting up online giving: head to giving.trinitylutheranchurch.com to set up an account and recurring donation from a checking account or credit/debit card.
Also, let us know you don’t need offering envelopes by emailing [email protected] by September 30.
News & Announcements
Community & Middle East Peace Builders Tues., Aug. 28, 7 PM Rick Steves believes there’s more to travel than good food and fun in the sun. Travelers who “travel as a political act” can have the time of their lives and come home smarter, with a better understanding of today's world.
In this inspirational presentation taped before a California audience, Rick explains how, when we venture thoughtfully out of our comfort zone, we gain an empathy for the other 96 percent of humanity and come home with the greatest of all souvenirs: a broader perspective.
We will also discuss how this relates to living among our diverse and multi-faith neighbors in the USA!
