The Session is excited to announce a new fundraising campaign aimed at enhancing our church offerings and beautifying our beloved Trinity Terrace. This initiative is not only about improving our physical space but also about enriching our spiritual experience and fellowship.
We invite you to join us for a celebration of giving as we raise funds for the renovation of Trinity Terrace and leave our legacy for years to come! It’ll be a night of food, festivities, and fellowship. The party will be held at the home of Marshall and Leslie Vyletel on Thursday, July 18 from 6 – 8 pm. Sign up through SignUp Genius, or with the church office while space is available!
