Thank You Trinity

As this year of Covid-19 winds to a close, I want to reach out and thank you for your spirit of generosity, and to remind you of three things we never dreamed we’d need to do, OR be able to do well! 

These ministries are directly related to what you made possible; so, you’ve got a big part in this.

In 2020, we’ve been blessed to…

  1. Live stream our worship!  
    Your generosity has made it possible for us to support our staff and volunteer tech team, as we’ve purchased new equipment and responded to covid needs, bringing worship into homes everywhere – each and every week!  
  2. Share the love of Jesus with our neighbors!
  • We’ve built new relationships with schools in District 59, offering almost $5,000 in food gift cards to families in need. 
  • Our ministry with PADS (Journeys) continues! We are preparing, packing, and delivering 40 meals monthly for our homeless/transient friends, in local motels.  
  1. Create new community partnerships!
     As the sin and division caused by racism was exposed yet again in our nation, we’ve been led to partner with a local Mount Prospect community group: BREATHE (Bringing Racial Equality, Amplified Through Human Engagement). We’ve hosted these intentional conversations about race in a covid-safe manner, throughout the early fall, and now have moved them entirely to our zoom platform.   

And so much more…

So again… thank you! Thank you for being a part of what God is doing through Trinity! Our beloved church has never closed, and YOUR giving has made all the difference! 

As we come into these last few days of the year and you are looking over your gift list, remember God’s love for you. And then prayerfully consider making a special (over andabove regular giving) Christmas gift to the mission of our church. Your gift today willhelp us start next year off strong.

You can mail your gift directly to the church or click here to offer your give online.

Thank you for your generosity. The best is yet to come!
Pastor Wendy

P.S. Consider the Cares Act opportunities for your year-end gift!

P.P.S.  We hope you’ll join us for Christmas Eve Worship, 4 pm (brief ½ hour worship) and 7 pm (Lessons and Carols). Our music and worship team is preparing two beautiful ways for you to worship from home (find the zoom links in next week’s eblast, newsletter, and at www.trinitymp.org)

For a song to inspire you, here’s our Trinity Youth And Chancel Choir back in March, singing Mark Miller’s “Child of God”

Trinity’s Generosity

Trinity’s generosity is a hallmark of our community.  
We have been so blessed by your faithful giving over the past few weeks—thank you! Here are three ways to prayerfully give:

We are still receiving mail at the church, and invite you to mail in your financial gifts.

  1. Please consider setting up an online giving account. You can set up a one-time gift or a monthly deduction from your checking account. If you are already accustomed to online billing, then this is easy and convenient—and it helps us tremendously! You can also use a credit card online, but we recommend the checking account option. Please contact the church office with instructions and/or help with how to do this: officeadmin@trinitymp.org 
  2. To give online, go to: trinitymp.org under the Give Tab. 

Again, we thank you for your faithfulness as we strive to BE the church in these uncertain and fearful times!

Join Our Scrip Program

Trinity has established a Scrip Program using the ShopWithScrip organization.  Scrip is physical gift cards, electronic gift cards and/or card reloads.  ShopWithScrip offers scrip from more than 750 retailers, including popular grocery, department, discount, drug, and specialty stores, restaurants, online retailers and many more.  When purchasing scrip for face value, a portion of the purchase (2% – 16%) is donated to Trinity.  

Initially, we have rolled out the paper gift card forms for purchasing physical cards that are delivered at church on the third Sunday of each month.  Eventually, Trinity members and friends will be able to purchase scrip, using either paper forms at church, or by going online with their computer or phone.  For additional information, see the church narthex display or contact Beth Carroll (Scrip Coordinator) or Lloyd Unger (Trinity Treasurer).

Order forms are available in the Narthex or can be downloaded below.  Other ShopWithScrip retailers shown online can also be added.

To download a paper order form, click here.

To download the paper agreement form, click here.

To enroll on line at shopwithscrip.com click here.

Deliver order forms and checks to the Trinity Scrip Program box in the Narthex or to Beth Carroll, our coordinator. 

Gift cards Orders are delivered at Church on the third Sunday of the month.

Orders for January should be placed in the Scrip box (in Narthex) by Sunday, January 5th, and will be delivered on January 19th.
