The best gift you can give is your presence and attention.
I’ll jump straight to the call to action: we’re throwing a party for Trinity Cathedral on Sunday, May 31, and hope you’ll plan to be there…and that you’ll RSVP today so that we can plan accordingly!
After years of discernment and planning—somewhere between two and fifteen years, depending on which project we’re talking about—we are thrilled to officially launch a campaign to raise needed funds for stained glass window repair, Cathedral Hall restoration, and the Trinity Endowment.
One thing I’ve learned about the Trinity congregation: we understand well the value of campaigns like this, but not just for raising funds or accomplishing projects. In all my conversations, I have heard a resounding affirmation for making Trinity’s spaces more welcoming, more functional, and more beautiful. We know that it’s up to us to care for this historic space and to fund the endowment that will help us to grow and thrive for generations.
What’s the best gift you can give right now? Even before you prayerfully consider the why or the how much?
The best thing you can give is your faithful presence. Yes, we’re starting a campaign. But the deeper goal is to build the sacred and beloved community of Trinity, and that happens when we gather to celebrate one another, to support those who are taking leadership, and to learn how we can help.
And the most helpful thing you can do today is to let us know you’re coming! We’ll be offering lunch to all, but letting us know soon—ideally by this Sunday—lets us prepare and make this the best campaign launch it can be.
I am so excited about the season we’re entering…and it begins with a celebration on May 31. I hope you’ll plan to be there…and let us know you’re coming!
Faithfully,
