Generosity at Trinity

A note from the pastor

A word about the spirit of giving.

Dear friend,

If you are reading this page, you may already be a member who is faithfully and quietly setting aside a portion of what God has given you for the work of this congregation. If so — thank you. Trinity exists because of your steady, often unnoticed faithfulness through good years and lean ones, and through pastors who came and went, and through capital campaigns and budget cuts and ordinary Sundays.

If you are reading this page because you are considering Trinity for the first time, or returning after a long absence, please feel no pressure of any kind to give. The work of a church is not funded by the goodwill of strangers; it is funded by the long covenant commitment of those who have come to call this congregation home. That cannot be hurried.

And if you are reading this page because you wonder whether what you have to give is too small to matter — I assure you, on the witness of every page of Scripture and the testimony of two thousand years of the church, that it is not.

Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them. For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on. Luke 21:3–4

Faithfully yours in Christ,

Hugh Mackay
Pastor · Trinity Reformed Church
