Trinity Operating Status Updates
March 27, 2020
In an email that went out on March 27th, we shared the following:
We hope you are all doing well during this difficult time. As you know two weeks ago Session voted to close Trinity through April 1st, with the intent of reassessing the building status before that time.
March 13, 2020
As we are trying to slow the rate of infection and keep our community safe, Session voted this morning to follow the recent National Capital Presbytery guidance to worship remotely and close for in person meetings, worships, and gatherings. Trinity will be closed until April 1st, when the status will be re-evaluated. We do not take these steps lightly and ask for your help in making God's presence felt for all.
Trinity Operating Status Updates
March 27, 2020
We hope you are all doing well during this difficult time. As you know two weeks ago Session voted to close Trinity through April 1st, with the intent of reassessing the building status before that time.
Last night, Session met again and voted on several key decisions. The most important right now is that
Trinity will be closed until May 1st, at which time another assessment will be made. As you know, this decision to close during Easter was not made lightly but is the best thing to do to keep the community safe. We will sending out special worship opportunities for Palm Sunday, Good Friday, and Easter.
We know these decisions are difficult and are thankful for the leadership from the Session during this time. We send our thoughts and prayers to all as we help each other through this pandemic with God's grace.
As always, please reach out to Pastor Judith, Session members, or staff if you have concerns or need assistance during this crisis.

How can I worship?
During this time, we will have at home worship options for all ages updated online and sent out via the enews. For the next three weeks, we will send vie enews a podcast with Pastor Judith, Ben, and Stuart as a sermon message, along with music for meditation.
If you have a prayer concern, please email Pastor Judith or use this form to let us know if you are sick or quarantined.
What does the closing effect?
No in person gatherings at or in the name of Trinity. This includes youth, circle, and ministry meetings face to face. We encourage you to use Zoom and other video abilities to communicate.
The building will be closed to all persons, except the sole kitchen renter and the Food and Friends meal program. We stress not to come to Trinity to use the gym or other facilities as we are protecting the community. Our cleaning contractor will be doing an enhanced cleaning during this time and before we re-open.
We still need to connect now more than ever
During this unusual time, please call people, send a card, or an email and reach out to others. If you need an address or phone number, please email the church office. The staff will be working remotely.
If you know of a particular need someone has, please let us know.
Thank you for your help during this extraordinary time.
Grace and Peace,
Pastor Judith and the Trinity Session and staff
