Sunday Recap – November 17

On Sunday, Pastor Brian Keepers preached from Luke 12:13-21, exploring with us how God’s grace and generosity move us toward life.

Bulletin: Find a link to the bulletin HERE.

Step Up Pledge Card: Trinity’s Finance Team put together a Step Up Pledge Card that we handed out on Sunday. View that pledge card HERE. We encourage you to take some time over the next few weeks to evaluate where you’re at in your giving and prayerfully consider what it would look like for you to take one step in terms of increasing your giving. Not out of obligation, but because growth comes when we step out in faith. We invite you to fill out a pledge card and bring it back on November 24 to put in the offering plate as an act of worship. Your pledge will only be seen by those on the Finance Team, but even so we see the value and intentionality in publicly committing to something.

Announcements

Stories of Generosity: We are collecting stories of generosity to share throughout our Abundance sermon series. But before we can share these stories with the church, we need you to share them with us! An example might be how generosity was modeled for you, a time when you were impacted by giving or receiving, or how God is calling you to step up in your generosity. We encourage you to send your stories to trinityoc@gmail.com.
