One Day's Pay: During Lent we have a practice of giving One Day’s Pay as a special offering. Each person or household decides what One Day’s Pay will be for them. This is a special offering. 60% of monies raised go to a project “beyond our doors”.  40% of monies raised go to a project within Trinity. This year 60% will go to the Benevolent Fund  for support of others and 40% will go to the Operating Fund of Trinity. Envelopes of your One Day’s Pay offering are available on the Welcome Table each Sunday or from the office. Thank you for your support.
