One of the goals at Companions, Journeying Together is to help families communicate with each other. Prisoners with good family support do better upon their release, and there are many factors that make that communication difficult. Thus, we help by providing prisoners, mostly juveniles and women, with cards and stationery for their use in writing their loved ones at Mother’s Day. Please help us acquire the supplies we need for this project (click here for list).

Trinity Christmas Giving To Missions
December 15, 2021
Dear Trinity Faith Community, Friends and Partners in Mission:
As 2021 draws to a close, I hope and pray that you will experience the true gifts of Christmas: peace, hope, joy and love. I join our Trinity leaders in expressing our gratitude for each of you. It’s been quite a year for us all! The generous response to A Future With Hope Campaign this fall has been an incredible testimony to the resilience, generosity, and faithfulness of our congregation.
With all of the challenges of this past year, we remain fully committed to living into this vision:
A Center for Community, with Christ at the Center
To do this, we want to intentionally build relationships with our neighbors near and far! Will you join us in loving our neighbors, by offering a gift? Our Trinity Christmas giving will be offered to two of our partner organizations:
- WINGS: Women In Need Growing Stronger
offering housing, services, education and advocacy, to end domestic violence
- UMCOR: United Methodist Committee on Relief
an international aid ministry, offering disaster relief all over the world
You can give online through the link here.
We invite you to join us for worship on Christmas Eve, December 24.
- 3 p.m. worship: casual, with the Praise Band, Carols, and the Christmas Story (in person only)
- 7 p.m. worship: lessons and carols, choirs and candles, and the Hallelujah! Chorus (online and in person)
May God bless you and yours in this holy season. May your life be a house for all that is holy and just, good and righteous. May Jesus be born again in our hearts, for our own sake, and for the healing of the world!
Every Blessing,
Pastor Wendy Hardin Hermann
