20/20 Vision Committee - Chaired by Bill Hurst
The 20/20 Vision Committee is working in parallel to the campaign. Its name represents its charge to discover what we want Holy Trinity Parish to look like in the year 2020. With the purchase of the property next door, our horizons have expanded, doors have opened, and possibilities abound. The 20/20 Vision Committee's chief responsibility right now is to listen to the congregation's concerns, desires, and plans.

Prism Campaign Q & A

What is it?
The Prism Campaign is Holy Trinity Episcopal Parish's capital campaign to raise the funds to help pay for the purchase of the property next door. As we raise funds to purchase land adjacent to our property, we commit ourselves to a future of optimism and expanding ministry. As is true in matters of faith, we cannot see all ends. But the potential of this property is clear. It opens possibilities for the future.

Why PRISM?
The campaign focuses on celebrating the myriad of ways in which we participate in our parish life together. The idea for the image of a prism was inspired by a sermon by Father John Nieman on January 6, 2008. He used this as a metaphor to describe how we as a church may be God's prism, His light shining through us, creating the many colors of our various ministries.

Is it happening now?
The campaign officially began Saturday, April 26, at with a kick-off celebration here at Holy Trinity.

How can I help?
Gifts of every sort are essential to reach our challenge goal of $1.5 million. You can make a pledge by attending one of the campaign events currently being held (sign up in the narthex or by calling the church office. Or you can call the church office to ask for a pledge card to be mailed to you or to arrange for a visit by one of the campaign leaders. Pledges cover a three-year period. However you decide to help, thank you.

Why are there two campaign goals?
The $1.1 million campaign goal grew from analysis of a Feasibility Study, which indicated that amount was a realistic goal for us. If, however, we can raise an additional $.4 million, for a total of $1.5 million, we will drastically minimize the impact of our purchase of the property on our outreach and operating expenses. So we are calling this our Challenge Goal, requiring a little extra effort and commitment now but with abundant benefits in the years to come.
