As you may well have heard, it is an exciting time for the Trinity Church community as we explore a potential multifaceted campaign to raise funds to strengthen the church, now and in the future. The campaign will be focused on how we Remember all that was, Reflect on all that is, and Renew for all that will be.
The crucial first steps are underway in partnership with a nonprofit consulting firm, The Munshine Group, which is leading one-on-one and group conversations for a Campaign Planning Study. As part of the study, many members of the church family representing various roles have been or will be interviewed to get a broad cross-section of input. Approximately four dozen interviews and a few focus groups are anticipated in what will be a process lasting some three to four months. If you would like to participate in one of the individual interviews or a focus group that is scheduled for July 9th, please reach out directly to Annie Bryson at brysona@trinityprinceton.org.
In addition, we have established a Study Advisory Group to ensure we keep with our role as conscientious stewards of Trinity Church as we do our due diligence each step of the way in discerning next steps. Prior to the start of his sabbatical, Father Paul was instrumental in the conception of the need for a campaign as well as its initial planning phase. And while he is out on sabbatical Father Paul is being updated on a periodic basis. Upon his return, Father Paul will be provided with a full picture regarding how the planning phase has progressed.
We look forward to sharing information along the way, as well as the recommendations that ultimately are formed by this work. If you have any questions or input, please feel free to reach out to David Schneider, Senior Warden at david.c.schneider@outlook.com or at 206.407.8612.
Peace,
David
