Trinity Email Update from Pastor – July 3, 2020

Dear Trinity Family,

As we go into our third Sunday of holding in person worship at Trinity, things seem to be working very well. My thanks to everyone for their help and understanding as we get used to this adjusted normal by wearing masks, cleaning hands, and keeping physical distance. We’ve been doing well and I know we’ll continue to do so.

Since last Sunday, Prince George’s County has entered into a “Full Phase Two” of its reopening plan along with the rest of the state. This means that Places of Worship may hold indoor gatherings of no more that 50% of their capacity. Based on only our “nave pew capacity” of 126, this places our limit at 63, which completely covers our average Sunday attendance. While this is cause for us to rejoice, let us continue to remember our brothers and sisters in other churches who are still not yet able to open their doors for worship as fully as we are. Let us pray for the day when all believers will again be able to worship together in the Lord’s House.

Again, as we come together for worship, we ask all of our members to continue to follow our Stay-Safe Rules while at church. We also want to remind our members who are unsure of returning quite yet for worship that we love you, we respect your choices, and we will be glad to see you again when you do return.

We are continuing to livestream worship on Facebook Live, and worship services are archived for later viewing on the video section of our church Facebook Page.

Our Redeemer/Trinity Food Distribution ministry is going well and is helping clients of our Compassion Center and others receive the food they and their families need. We thank you all for your generous donations to keep the pantry stocked. This Sunday, July 5th, you can once again drop off food to support this ministry. Please bring your donations to the Compassion Center entrance at Redeemer between Noon and 1 PM.

God’s blessings and peace be with you all this holiday weekend. Enjoy and be safe! And hope to see you at worship either in person or online this Sunday!

In Christ’s love,
+Pastor
