A Trinity Stewardship request was shared with the congregation this past November suggesting, if possible, you consider increasing your givings by 5% in 2018. If this request is still being considered in your household, we would ask you to contact the Church Office in the near future. We cut into the church’s deficit in 2017 and would hope to continue this trend in 2018. Financial Management Committee
