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 “Faith-Filled Generosity.”  It reminds us that our faith shapes what kind of people we are becoming.  As God changes our understanding of wealth, that new understanding reshapes our relationships.  Those relationships redirect our investments, leading to a way of life marked by joy, trust, and participation in God’s mission.  Although the church has bills to pay, the focus of stewardship is helping us to grow spiritually in our relationship with God by supporting the church’s mission and ministry with a percentage of our 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.

Join us in person or online for a special time of worship on Sun., Nov. 22 at 10:30 a.m. with Rev. Jane Eesley as our guest leader.  A Celebration Luncheon will follow in-person worship.  We hope everyone in our church family will make plans to participate. To RSVP, [click here].

 

ESTIMATE OF GIVING

The Act of Consecration will be the high point of worship on Consecration Sunday.  Those who attend Consecration Sunday worship will receive 2027 estimate of giving cards which they have the option of completing in person and bringing to the front of the Sanctuary as an act of worship.  Since giving is an essential and spiritual aspect of being a disciple of Jesus Christ, please reflect on how God has blessed you and consider what percentage of your income you will give to God.  Alternatively, to make an estimate of giving online, [click here].
