"Looking to the Future"
Creating a worship environment for the benefit of all Thank you to all of you who have helped to make our campaign kickoff a great success!!!! Due to your overwhelming generosity we are now ready to move forward with our building project.
Chart of Gifts Needed (1-3
Year Pledges)
In order to reach our financial
objectives, we will need both a substantial number of givers
and a few, fairly
substantial gifts as this chart of gifts illustrates. All
members are asked to consider gifts above and beyond what
they give in their regular offerings and other
contributions.
Please prayerfully consider joining the Trinity Team by
making your pledge as soon as possible.
**There are extra pledge cards in the narthex and a basket for them.**

Exciting Things To Come
Looking back, 2007 was a memorable year for our church as we
celebrated our 50th Anniversary and reminisced about the
journey we’ve all been a part of. But now, we must look on
to the future. For several months, we as a congregation have
taken steps into a new journey for the Worship Center
Renovation Project. As one of Trinity’s younger members, I
can’t help but share my excitement for this project and for
what is to come!
Yes, looking into the future can be a scary thing. There can
be many unknowns and we wonder if we are walking on the
right path. In trusting Christ, we must walk by faith, not
by sight. As I read The Purpose Driven Life, I feel
like God is speaking to me regarding the renovations about
to take place. It’s
necessary for us to think of the bigger picture: Worship is
not for
our benefit. We worship for God’s benefit and to
bring glory to him.
We are called to belong, not just believe.
God’s purposes for his church are like his 5 purposes
for us:
Worship helps us focus on God, fellowship
helps us face life’s problems, discipleship helps
fortify our faith,
ministry helps find our talents, and evangelism
helps fulfill our mission.
Unity is the soul of fellowship. As
believers we share one Lord, one Body, one purpose,
one Father, one Spirit, one
hope, one faith, one baptism, and one love.
How exciting it will be for us as a
congregation to worship our Lord in a renewed space
and with a renewed spirit!
More importantly, it’s necessary to think of the
upcoming improvements as tools to expand our
capabilities for growing in the Body of Christ and
for becoming instruments of Christ as we witness to
others. So as
we look to the future, “Let us concentrate on the
things which make for harmony and the growth of our
fellowship together.” Romans 14:19
Your friend in Christ,
Brenda Sheets
