Dear Trinity family,

Well, if there is a lesson that this whole COVID situation has taught us it would be that conditions change rapidly.

My announcement about this coming Sunday at Trinity is a case in point. Imagine my quite joyous surprise to have learned later yesterday, after I had already sent out my last message to you all, that our County Executive has lifted the mask mandate in Prince George’s County, beginning at 5 PM Friday. We are certainly grateful that the COVID metrics have improved in our community to allow this to happen, and we continue to pray that this time of health emergency may soon come to an end. May our loving and healing God grant it!

So, everything which I wrote to you yesterday about this coming Sunday still applies, with this one change:

While in the church building, wearing of a mask is optional. In love and care for one another, use your best judgment with regards to current health guidelines as to whether or not you wear a mask.

We have updated our “Stay-Safe Rules” to reflect this new change, and a copy can be found here.

I hope and pray that you all have a wonderful day, a blessed Memorial Day weekend, and I look forward to seeing you all at church.

Peace and blessings,
+Pastor
