Matthew! Charity Challenge
Contribute $1 each time Pastor Aaron mentions "Matthew" in service!
But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
Matthew 6:1-6 (ESV)
Each time Pastor Aaron speaks "Matthew", our church gives towards a charitable cause.
Our congregation noticed that Senior Pastor Aaron Mansfield always had a spiritual way of incorporating Matthew into his sermons, which became a comedic callout to one of his favorite books in the Bible. In the spirit of giving back and charity, Trinity Hill members decided to raise money for each time "Matthew" is mentioned during service. Everyone (including Pastor Aaron himself) is encouraged to donate $1 per mention leading up to Easter Sunday.
If you have any questions or would like to make a donation, please contact our church office at 859.272.3456. We hope you join in this collection and help celebrate the power of God's Word during service.
Which charity will we give to after the challenge?
Once the challenge is complete, our very own Mike Wright has offered to match up to $1,000 to contribute to the donations! What a blessing!
In addition, we have selected the following charities to choose from. We will vote as a congregation on Easter Sunday. Each attendee may vote once, and we are excited to support one of the following local causes to support:
Option A - THE NEST
Since 1977, we have offered support to individuals and families in crisis, facing adversity, or experiencing unexpected needs, enhancing their well-being through our comprehensive services.
Our holistic approach includes four free programs: early childhood education and care, family assistance for basic human needs, counseling and advocacy for survivors of intimate partner violence, and parental education and support, available in English and Spanish.
Option B - THE FISHER HOUSE
The mission of the Friends of Lexington Fisher House is to raise money through tax-deductible donations to support the Lexington Fisher House and its guests. The house serves veterans’ families by providing a safe, supportive and loving home at no cost while their loved one is receiving treatment in the Lexington VA Health Care system.
Option C - RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE
Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Bluegrass provides comfort, care, and kindness when it matters the most. While we don’t administer medical care, we keep thousands of children and families close to the critical care they need – and to each other. Our programs are designed with the community in mind. They provide essential care like places of respite for parents, space for children to be children, and communities of support for all family members dealing with a child’s medical crisis. We believe when families are together, they heal better. We believe no family should have to deal with their child’s medical crisis alone. And that is why we are so proud to have been keeping children and their families together since 1984.
We cannot wait to see you all on Easter Sunday! Thank you for your contributions and giving during this charity challenge!
