Mark that date on your calendar as a time
of spiritual growth, fellowship, and commitment here at Trinity.
The weekend of November 23 will be "Consecration Sunday,"
the culmination of a biblically-based stewardship education
and commitment emphasis called Consecrated Stewards that focuses
on raising people in Christian discipleship, not just raising
money for the work of the church.
To understand the Consecrated Stewards approach,
you need to know that it is based on the biblical philosophy
of the need of the giver to give for his or her own spiritual
development, rather than on the need of the church to receive.
It is not based on the budgetary needs of the church, but on
the desire to have each person grow in discipleship. Opportunity
for growth in discipleship will take place during the weeks
of Sundays, November 2 through November 23.
- The personal witness of some of our members.
- Encouragement and resources for prayer.
- Celebration of the various ministries of
our congregation.
- A 4-week series of Bible studies on Sunday
mornings and in Small Groups. Also included is a
special Bible study on Nov. 16 (9:30am) led by Mr. Carroll
Alexander of Trinity, Roselle. Our Guest Leader, Rev. David
Walker of St. Peter, Schaumburg will also be our guest preacher
on Consecration Sunday weekend.
- Consecration Sunday activities on the weekend
of Nov. 23, including:
- Opportunity to make a faith-based commitment during the
worship service.
- A special fellowship and Celebration time following each
worship service for all the Trinity family.
The encouragement to commitment on Consecration
Sunday weekend takes place within the context of the worship
service. Our Guest Leader will conduct a brief period of instruction
and inspiration, and then ask our attendees and members to respond
to God's leading through a financial commitment that will enable
our church's missionary, benevolent, and educational ministries
in this community and around the world.
