A New Way to Give
Trinity is pleased to announce the introduction of an electronic option for
making regular offerings. Contributions can now be debited automatically from your
checking or savings account. Our new electronic giving program offers convenience for you and much-needed
donation consistency for our congregation.
If you are currently giving on a weekly basis, you will no longer need to write out 52
checks a year or prepare 52 envelopes. And, when travel, illness or other
circumstances prevent you from attending services, this program will allow your
weekly offerings to continue on an uninterrupted basis.
