Dear Trinity Family,

This week’s news is perfectly summed up in the words of the Psalmist David:

“I was glad when they said to me, ‘Let us go to the house of the Lord!'” (Ps. 122:1)

We are indeed glad as we look forward to returning to our church home after three months of being away from it and from each other’s fellowship.  It will be a great joy to see many of you again, and to share in the blessings of lifting our praises and prayers to the Lord, hearing His Word, and receiving the precious gift of the Lord’s Supper together once more.

With that being said, we do realize that the cause of this time of separation from each other is still with us.  While we open the doors again, we are not yet able to “fling them wide open” as we still must follow attendance limits and other distancing procedures.  We also realize that the virus is still active, so there is still a need for continued caution.  While some of us may be open to making a return to church now, there are still those who feel the need to continue staying at home.  As we said before the stay at home orders went into effect, each of us will need to use the God-given gift of wisdom that we have to make the best decision that we can for our own health and well-being.  If you do not yet feel that the time is right for you to come back to worship, be at peace with that decision, knowing that your church family loves you, is praying for and with you, and looks forward to the day when we can all be together again.

For those who are coming back (or when you are ready to come back), information concerning how our worship gatherings will look like during this time of “adjusted normal” is available for you to review on the church website here.

(This information will also be available in the Sunday Bulletin for the next couple of weeks as well.)

Speaking of the Sunday Bulletin, it is also available for you here on the church website to get the latest news from Trinity.

As we will continue to livestream our Sunday Services, the bulletins will also continue to be published online especially for use by those who will be joining us in worship through Facebook Live.

God’s blessings be with you all this weekend, and I look forward to seeing you all at worship this Sunday, either in person or online!

Peace in Christ,
+Pastor
