As our fall schedule ramps up at Trinity, it is time to start to think about our annual stewardship drive.  This is where we, as a congregation, pledge our time, talent and treasures for next year. This year, 2019, has been a busy one at Trinity in part because of our 200th-anniversary celebrations.  In addition, we have completed several building improvement projects.   Our 2020 Stewardship Theme is “Take the Time” by the Michael Stanley Band.  It might seem a bit strange that we would pick a Heartland Rock band from the Cleveland area as our theme. The lyrics start:  These are strange days we live in, the nights get even worse.    And the news must make you crazy, it has for so long. The song goes on to say: Take the time to love someone Take the time to make amends Take the time to make a stand Take the time for your friends We all live in a crazy world that seems to be getting crazier by the minute. W...
