Annual Pledge Drive

Trinity’s 2022 Annual Pledge Drive took place in October. This year’s theme Imagine...More Than Enough, was based on the The Episcopal Network for Stewardship (TENS) theme: More than Enough and then expanded to be even more inspiring for our community. Together we did just that - we imagined and responded exceeding both our pledge and dollar amount goals!

We set goals we knew would stretch us as we were less than a full year back in-person; a 5% increase in number of overall pledges, and a 5% increase in overall giving meant we would need to be intentional and focused. The tools developed for the Pledge Drive this year included a printed pledge pamphlet designed by B Creative Studio including a pledge card as well as an on-line pledge form and designated web page. We also developed a new on-line pledge dashboard this year providing updates to track our giving to the goals we set for ourselves.

Thank you to our co-Chairs, Jeffrey Albright and Kim Buehler who were outstanding. Each Sunday for Trinity@316 worship they talked about the ministry as well as introduced members who offered impact stories - both in-person and on-line during Trinity@Home. Throughout the month they sent thank you notes to each of us.

Thank you also to the following members who offered their impact stories: Silma Espinosa, Melissa Toth, Becky Koskinen, Ruth Foote, Sheila Otto, Courtney Rahe, Gary Franklin, Dcn. Meribah Mansfield and Bradley Baker.

It has been an honor and joy to serve in these roles this year; thank you for your amazing engagement, participation and response. Making an annual pledge commitment has brought us closer to our Trinity community, giving us both the most abundant love and appreciation we have ever known. Every dollar committed is a sign of hope and resilience, and helps Trinity plan for future programming, worship, staffing, education, pastoral support and faith in action.

Thank you one more time for your participation in this necessary effort, for sharing your stories and for stepping up and into this way of showing your love for God, each other and the wider community we are called to serve.

Sincerely,

Kim Buehler & Jeffrey Albright Trinity 2022 Pledge Drive Co-Chairs
