“I Love My Church”2015

Stewardship & Loyalty Campaign

“I Love My Church.” What does this phrase mean to you? Whether youhave attended Trinity United Methodist Church a very long time or havejust become part of our family, we know you have experienced many

amazing moments. You have given, and you have received. Because ofyour involvement, we have all grown as individuals and as a church. This

year, our Loyalty Campaign is being renamed and refocused. OurStewardship & Loyalty Campaign will place an emphasis on whole-

life stewardship. We want to focus on our church vision and how we aremeeting the needs of our Trinity family and others as we grow in our

relationship with Christ. Obviously, a financial component is part of seeingthat the vision unfolds. We will work to share ideas, listen to what youhave to say, and ask for you to prayerfully make a commitment to an

estimate of giving for 2015. We know this Campaign will make adifference for the church we love and look forward to its success!

Together in Christ, Gary and Barbara Orr, Campaign Chairs

A huge thank you to each and every individual who hasbeen a part of Trinity’s Web Ministry. From the verybeginnings with the Development Committee to thelaunching equipped with our amazing online hosts andproduction team and to each person who has logged on andexperienced it for themselves, I am grateful for yourwillingness to rethink church and how we can reach thelarger community. We are making a difference in the livesof others, and the recent membership of the Augsburgerfamily (below) is just one example of the ways we havetouched many families. Thank you!

As we begin this year,we're grateful be part of a church body that cares so muchabout the spiritual formation of youth; the warmth andhospitality of the congregation were evident from day one.We're so blessed to be here and are excited for what God hasplanned!

Thankful doesn't adequately describe how I feel about thecongregation at Crossroads. It's rare to find a congregation soinvested in a worship service. So many people lovingly serveto create music, read Scripture, serve communion, andprepare the area for worship. Crossroads is not simply aworship service, it’s a family.

-Rev. Dr. Brian Jones

Thank you to the valiant volunteers who helped to prepare thenew children's ministry space, the dedicated leaders who ledour Kids Own Worship every Sunday over the summer, andthe countless volunteers who made VBS such a success. Yourcommitment to this ministry is creating little disciples of Christand will be felt for many years to come!
