MUSINGS FROM PASTOR BRAD

  Consistency is something we strive for in life.  Well, at least I try to.  I know to keep myself healthy I have to consistently work out, so at least five days a week I need to do some sort of work out.  In my preaching, I hope to be consistently average.  I know that not every sermon is going to be a home run, but I hope to not strike out too often (you can be the judge). And I’m really working on being a consistently average golfer.  I just want to consistently hit in the ball well, even if it doesn’t go where I want it to go every time, if I make good contact on a consistent basis, I feel confident that I will work the rest out.  One thing I’ve gotten better at in the last year is hitting consistently better putts.  They don’t always go in, but I’m close to the hole consistently and the other day they were dropping, which was nice! 

  Our Simply Giving program is about giving you, and the church, consistency in your financial giving to Trinity.  It allows you to never worry about your giving because it comes out directly from your bank account and isn’t contingent upon whether you are here physically for church or not.  This is great as we come upon summer when many people are gone on vacation or there cabins.  Or, if you are a parent or grandparent that spends many weekends with your children in gyms or at baseball or softball diamonds watching their athletic contests.  Simply Giving helps you to support the ministry of this congregation on a consistent basis even when you can’t consistently be here.  Even better, it gives us a consistent source of revenue that we can count on that helps smooth out the ups and downs of our finances.

  And now, we have an even better reason to join Simply Giving or modify it if you are currently using it, and that is the new parsonage that we are currently building.  You can giving regularly to the parsonage fund through Simply Giving and make a consistent contribution to this endeavor. You don’t have to wait for our next fundraising event or a reminder.  You can help on a consistent basis through Simply Giving.

  Simply Giving is incredibly easy.  Fill out the form that is attached to this email and send it into the church. You can cancel or modify it at any time.  I use Simply Giving for my giving at Trinity and always have because it is the best, most efficient, and consistent way I know how to give to our ministry.  I hope you will join me in being a consistent giver and supporter of our ministry.  If you have any question, don’t hesitate to call the church office at 715-643-3821.  Thank you for your contributions to Trinity and may God bless you today and always!
