ABOUT THE STEWARDSHIP CAMPAIGN

Your gifts to Trinity Wilmette support hope for living, grace in action, and music for the soul.  Our annual stewardship campaign will include personal stories about giving, plus worship and a luncheon on Consecration Sunday.  See the details and RSVP links below.

This year’s theme is “Transforming Generosity.”  It reminds us that we are transformed by God’s generosity to be generous through our worship, welcome, and ministry to each other and the wider community.  When we see giving as an investment in God’s kingdom rather than merely meeting budgets, we become vessels shaped by divine love.  Although the church has bills to pay, the focus of stewardship is helping people to grow spiritually in their relationship with God by supporting their church’s mission and ministry with a percentage of their income.  We are motivated to give generously for a variety of reasons:

 

1. We are grateful to God.
2. We see giving as part of our relationship with God.
3. We feel privileged to serve God.
4. We believe God asks for an appropriate percentage of our income.

5. We like to help other people.

A Special Worship on Sun., Nov. 23 at 10:30 a.m. with Rev. Ashish Singh as our guest leader.  This service will be available for you to join either in-person or online on Consecration Sunday.  A Celebration Luncheon will follow in-person worship.  We hope everyone in our church family will make plans to participate.

ESTIMATE OF GIVING

The Act of Consecration will be the high point of worship on Consecration Sunday, as each person or household will be given the opportunity to make an estimate of their giving for 2025.  Since giving is an essential and spiritual part of being a disciple of Jesus Christ, you should review how God has blessed you and consider what percentage of your income you will give to God.  To make an estimate of giving, [click here].

To make giving easier, consider giving to Trinity Church by electronic funds transfer.  Here’s the link to the form.   Please complete and return it to the church office to the attention of Trinity’s Financial Secretary, Amy Reimer (amy@trinitywilmette.org).  Contact Amy at 847-251-7333 x104 with questions regarding electronic funds transfer.

 

GUEST LEADER

Our Guest Leader is Rev. Ashish Singh. Growing up among the people of Indo-Pak UMC in Chicago where his father was the pastor, Ashish learned that the best way to live his life is by rooting his identity in Christ and serving others.  Through various church activities, participating in worship and Bible study, coordinating volunteer opportunities, and being part of a loving community, he discovered how the church can be an agent of personal and societal transformation.
In 2014, Ashish decided to leave his corporate career and answer God’s persistent call to ordained ministry.  He earned his Master of Divinity at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary.  He previously served at the United Methodist Church of Libertyville, and currently is the pastor of Good Samaritan United Methodist Church in Addison, where Pastor Brian served before coming to Trinity Wilmette.
