OCMC continues to reach people with the love of Christ. In 2019, Holy Trinity donated $5,391.82 to this worthy charity. It is through your generosity and prayers that the Orthodox Church is promoted all around the world carrying out Christ’s Great Commission.

Holy Trinity will continue to do its part in 2020 as well. On March 1, the Sunday before the start of Great Lent, once again OCMC Mission Coin Boxes will be passed out. The children of our Sunday School have been filling these boxes year after year. Last year, each family was asked to take a coin box home to remind them- selves that in addition to fasting, almsgiving is a worthy Lenten exercise. A great Lenten idea is to use these coin boxes as way for the entire family to incorporate aspects of almsgiving into their daily lives.
