2020 STEWARDSHIP CAMPAIGN UPDATE
Season’s Greetings!
Thank you to those of you who have submitted your pledges this past week. As we head into the final days of the 2020 campaign, we continue to ask everyone to keep our spiritual Mother, Holy Trinity, at the center of your lives. Those of you who have a remaining balance on your pledge should have received a church statement via mail. Thank you in advance for your generosity in fulfilling your commitment made earlier in the campaign.
You can pay your pledge online giving via Abundant Giving at: https://abundant.co/holytrinityraleigh/give. You can also mail your stewardship donation(s) to: 5000 Lead Mine Road, Raleigh, NC 27612. If you still need to submit your stewardship commitment form, it can be downloaded from the church website at: http://www.holytrinityraleigh.org/assets/files/Stewardship/2020%20Stewardship%20Commitment%20Card%20.pdf.
Also, please note that this year we will kicking off the 2021 Stewardship Campaign titled “the greatest of these is love” on Sunday, December 20th.
