Sunday, Oct. 28 — 2019 Pledge Ingathering

Growing Our Generosity

Stewardship 2019

Sunday, Oct. 28 is the ingathering of our 2019 Pledges.  All members will be invited during the Offertory Hymn to come forth to present their pledge commitments for 2019.

Why is your pledge important?

Your pledges of financial support for the 2019 annual budget are critical to God’s work here — and to the grace, excellence, and hospitality that this Cathedral parish displays. The promise of this and every year’s stewardship campaign is that our collective effort is greater than our individual contributions. We all have the opportunity to offer something to God, something that God can and will use.

Where does your Pledge go?

A pledge form will be available in the pews next Sunday for your use should you need one, or you can click here to download a form ►  2019 Pledge Form

Volunteers needed to Staff Homeless Overflow Shelter Nov.–Mar.

There is a significant shortage of homeless shelter space in Washoe County during the winter months.  Consequently, many homeless people will be spending bitterly cold winter nights outside. 

Would you be willing to volunteer

to help change that?

The City of Reno is partnering with local religious groups and Action (our local community organizers) to open and staff additional emergency overflow shelters to address this urgent need.  They are large heated tents next to the existing shelter on Record St.  Various faith communities have agreed to provide three or more volunteers to staff this shelter from 8:30 PM to 6:00 AM on nights throughout the winter months.  Signing up does not obligate you to any particular night; it just puts you on a mailing list to which the specific monthly sign up for nights will be sent.

     A training program will take place Mon., Nov. 5 at 7:00 PM at the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Chapel adjacent to Pine Middle School [ 4751 Neil Rd, Reno, NV 89502. ]  The training will also be available by video afterward, if you cannot make it.

      Last year, members of the Trinity congregation stepped up and helped with this ministry, and they felt it was very moving.  This is a wonderful opportunity for us to get directly involved helping the folks we see on our doorstep every day!  We will only be committing to a few nights each month, depending on how many volunteers we get, and no one will be scheduled more than the number of nights you feel you are available and willing to handle.

     A direct E-mail went out in the last few weeks where you could sign up directly, you can sign up in the back of the Church, or you can contact Rev. Rick at RevRick@TrinityReno.org if you have questions.

Please wear your Name Tags

Please wear your name tags…

• They help others to know who we are (especially visitors)

• Name tags are on the magnetic board in the north narthex river entrance.
• Please wear them and before leaving return them to the board. 
• If you are in need of a name tag, place your name — print clearly — on the list at the north entrance. 
• Your $10 donation to cover expenses can be placed in a pew offering envelope — make sure you write your name on the envelope and label it “for Name Tag.” Or call Coco in the office during the week to order (775) 329-4279.
