Gifted to Grow, Given to Share
Dear people of Trinity,
On behalf of the steering team for Trinity’s capital campaign, “Gifted to Grow, Given to Share,” I would like to
thank you all for your heartfelt and generous support of the campaign this fall: financially and spiritually, in
prayer and in giving. As many said, this campaign was always about more than the dollars raised, and even
more than the ministry and hospitality that will be possible through those funds. It was also about being
strengthened in our unity in Christ as a congregation, remembering that (as our Rocky Mountain Synod
leaders say) “we are Church: better together!”
Several of you have asked us to reiterate and clearly explain the different methods that can be used to make
financial gifts to the campaign. They are:
“Gifted to Grow” Envelopes: Those who receive offering
envelopes will find for 2016 special envelopes marked with
“Gifted to Grow, Given to Share” that can be used at any
time. Please note that any donations given in “Turning
Mortgage into Ministry” envelopes will also be automatically
directed to the capital campaign, since eliminating the
mortgage is one of the projects of the campaign.
By check: Checks can be given with or without envelopes:
please make all checks payable to Trinity
Lutheran Church with “Gifted to Grow” in the memo line.
Cash: Cash gifts are certainly welcome; please use an offering
envelope if possible or clearly mark the gift as meant for
“Gifted to Grow.”
Online: On the homepage of Trinity’s website,
www.trinitylutheranfc.org, in the black menu bar at the top,
click “More…” and then “Give” to be directed to a page with
links to give one-time or regular gifts. Credit and debit cards
can both be used online. If you need assistance, feel free to
contact Debbie Schwartz in the Trinity office at 970-482-1226 for instructions.
Stock or investment transfers: Our member Debbie Schilling, a financial advisor at Waddell and Reed
(where the funds for the capital campaign are being held) is handling all investment transfers for the
campaign. Call Debbie at (970) 416-6078 and she will work one-on-one with you to help you make a
transfer.
We hope this helps make it easier for you to bless Trinity with your generosity! If you have further questions
about any of the above options, please contact Debbie Schwartz in the office at 970-482-1226. If you have
questions about the campaign in general, you’re welcome to contact me at the same number, or at
[email protected].
Peace,
Pastor Gabi
