Giving to Trinity
Sharing God's Gifts
Stewardship and Giving
At Trinity, we believe that time, talent, and treasure are all parts of the same gift from God. This is our guiding principle when we are asked to help with church or community projects, or use our skills, or pledge our money.
We are called to give back part of God’s gift in whatever forms we can. It is not a case of time or talent or treasure. They are all gifts to be offered in gratitude. We value and accept them gratefully in whatever form they are offered. It takes a great deal of all three—time, talent, and treasure—to operate Trinity Parish.
There are many ways to get involved by volunteering time and talents. Treasure is shared in ways large and small: goods or services for outreach projects; baked goods to add a home-like feeling to fellowship events; toys and mittens at Christmas for children who need them; or supplies for the youth group to take with them to work camp.
Money is needed to fund the operation and ministries of the parish. Being a member of Trinity Parish means having a covenant with the parish. It means being spiritually present and committed to good stewardship. As a practical matter, stewardship includes making an annual pledge so that the vestry can estimate revenue for the coming year to plan programming and budget effectively. This pledge is also our covenant with God, given back to the world in gratitude. We believe that by giving through faith, we are more spiritually engaged in God’s mission. Click the Stewardship Pledge icon below to make your one-time or recurring pledge to Trinity for the coming calendar year.
Trinity Parish is a Delaware not-for-profit charitable corporation, with a 501(c)(3) designation from the Internal Revenue Service. You can help support the work that we do with a gift of time, talent, or treasure. For additional information about sharing God’s gifts, please call the church office at (302) 652-8605 or send us an email.
Flowers
Opportunities to make donations toward flowers to enhance worship services at Trinity or Old Swedes are made by contacting the Trinity Office (email or call (302) 652-8605). Donations begin at $75 and flowers are arranged by a member of the Arranging Guild. An honorific such as, “In memory of,” “In honor of,” or “In thanksgiving for,” is placed in the worship bulletins. The occasion can be “shared” with another person, each donating $40 or more.
Flower donations for Easter and Christmas begin with a $35 minimum. The Guild will create arrangements on behalf of all individuals who donate, and a listing of those being memorialized will be included in the worship bulletins.
Donations can be made via check to Trinity Parish (note “Altar, Easter, or Christmas flowers”) and sent to the Office or can be made by clicking the “Online Giving” link below.
