Outreach Missions

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”

Thank You Trinity

Essential cleaning supplies and personal care products for D59 families will be distributed with other gifts provided by Mount Prospect Neighbors Helping Neighbors in time for Christmas. We are grateful for Trinity Preschool Director Amy Pracko and Preschool mom “alum” Michelle Notini who help to strengthen our community connections.

Kids Above All

School District 59
Community Consolidated School District 59 includes families living adjacent to our church building and in the surrounding neighborhoods of Mount Prospect, Elk Grove Village and Des Plaines. Families’ greatest everyday needs include child care, cleaning and laundry supplies, diapers, paper towels, hand sanitizer, garbage bags, feminine hygiene products, and quarters for laundry.  The Empowerment Fund administered by the District 59 Foundation receives cash donations that help pay utility bills. Scrip gift cards purchased through Trinity are an excellent way to provide families with a flexible means of purchasing essential items. Contact Community and Family Ministry Director Jacki Bogolia for more information on how to connect with our neighbors in tangible ways. Click here to order gift cards for D59 families.
