Time
Volunteering for church and community projects — from outreach to fellowship events — is a gift we value gratefully.
Sharing God's Gifts
Stewardship and Giving
At Trinity, we believe that time, talent, and treasure are all parts of the same gift from God. It is not a case of time or talent or treasure — they are all gifts to be offered in gratitude, and we value and accept them gratefully in whatever form they are offered.
Three gifts
Time, talent, and treasure
It takes a great deal of all three to operate Trinity Parish. Every gift — large or small — sustains worship, neighbor care, and God's mission in Wilmington.
Talent
Skills offered in gratitude: baking, music, teaching, organizing, and countless other ways of sharing who you are.
Treasure
An annual pledge helps the vestry plan the coming year, fund ministries, and live out our covenant with God and one another.
Being a member of Trinity Parish means having a covenant with the parish — being spiritually present and committed to good stewardship. We believe that by giving through faith, we are more spiritually engaged in God's mission.
Flowers
Donations toward flowers to enhance worship at Trinity or Old Swedes are made by contacting the Trinity Office. Donations begin at $75 and flowers are arranged by a member of the Arranging Guild. An honorific — “In memory of,” “In honor of,” or “In thanksgiving for” — is placed in the worship bulletins. The occasion can be shared with another person, each donating $40 or more.
Easter and Christmas flower donations begin with a $35 minimum; the Guild creates the arrangements and those memorialized are listed in the worship bulletins. You can send a check to Trinity Parish (note “Altar, Easter, or Christmas flowers”) or use the Online Giving link.
Legacy
Trinity Parish has been very blessed with gifts from those who have gone before us — legacy gifts given for the love of God and to live out our faith in the city of Wilmington. Please consider Trinity's future with a gift in your will.
