Thanks be to God for the generosity of the Trinity congregation, which in December, set a record of $829,000 for offerings in a single month. While our budget includes a provision for substantially higher giving in December, these levels truly require the congregation to step out financially in faith as Trinity has done to support our mission of Building a Community Fully Alive in Christ. The overall Ministry Expenses came in slightly under budget as well, and while there are still some adjustments to be made to finalize the figures, we are within $25,000 (less than 0.5%) from balancing the Ministry Operating budget. On the non-operating side, we benefitted from Miscellaneous Income from unrealized return on investments and from an unexpected bequest received in December, which took us into a surplus for the year. Many thanks to all, and please pray for continued impact Trinity has in God’s kingdom locally and around the world!
