Stewardship Meditation
Kevin and Pat Keppler
November 8 2020
 
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,  for his mercy endures forever.  [Psalm 106.1]

Dear brothers and sisters of Trinity,
We are living through unusual times, times of challenge, but also times in which so many have shown levels of courage and compassion that we had not imagined would ever be needed.  In this uncertainty, we have also seen God at work in those who have worked so hard as healthcare providers and frontline workers, first responders and teachers, as truckers and others.  For them, and for the belief that God will protect us in the end, we are grateful.
If you can, we humbly ask that you consider increasing your pledge.
This is not the time to ask for everything we want, but to be grateful for everything we have.

You may mail your pledge to Trinity in the stamped, self-addressed envelope that was included in the Stewardship mailing, or you may pledge on the website:  https://www.trinitychurchmilford.org/2021-pledge

 
Go, be healing to God's people; seek and share the saving call.
Be the touch of Christ for others, be the voice of Christ for all.
Lives are broken all around you, and Christ has no hands but yours;
hold in them the ones who suffer so Christ's healing love endures.
-Martin Willett
