COVID Update-7/1/2020
The COVID Task Force has continues to meet and navigate these difficult situations. We know the last several months have been difficult, and we continue to explore ways to meet safely in person. As it was stated in the last newsletter (please refer to the June newsletter for the full article), Trinity is continuing to follow the Rocky Mountain Synod guidelines (in italics below). As the situation continues to change, so does our response - updates to Trinity’s response:
1.) It is recommended that congregations and communities of faith continue to use an online/digital platform for corporate worship through at least August 31; there is a strong likelihood that such need will continue through the end of the calendar year or longer given public health requirements for all parishioners to safely gather for corporate in-person worship in church buildings. This recommendation will be reevaluated in mid-August in light of any new developments.
2.) It is recommended that congregations and communities of faith consider how to offer low-risk in-person gatherings tailored to the needs and vulnerabilities of the various people within your setting.
3.) It is recommended that congregations and communities of faith use this time to pay particular attention as people of faith to those in your community, in our nation, and in this world who are most vulnerable during the pandemic and let that inform your ministry efforts.
This Task Force will continue to meet. If there is something you would like to bring to the attention of the task force, our next meeting will be Thursday, July 9. Thank you for your grace through this time. The church has never been closed because we, as people, are the church. We, all, continue to do ministry, we continue to do God’s work in our world – and that is what it means to be church. The church was never closed, only our building.
In Christ’s Love, -The COVID Task Force

This recommendation will be reevaluated in mid-August in light of any new developments.
- Trinity will abide by this recommendation and not hold corporate worship in the sanctuary through at least the end of August. We are tentatively planning an outdoor worship service for the weekend of August 2 and 3 (there will still be online options available). Please watch for a survey in the e-news to express your interest and comfort in this option; based on the results of the service we will determine how to proceed (eg, do people need to reserve a spot).
2.) It is recommended that congregations and communities of faith consider how to offer low-risk in-person gatherings tailored to the needs and vulnerabilities of the various people within your setting.
- We are encouraging small groups to meet in-person outside. This can be on the church property or wherever your group would like to meet (not inside the church building, yet). Please continue to practice physical distancing, the use of masks, and limiting the group size. Also, when meeting at the church, please bring your own chairs – do not take chairs from inside. Boards and other committees are encouraged to make their meetings hybrid incorporating both zoom and in-person options – your safety is still our priority, if you are in the at-risk population, please choose the online options. The task force will continue to implement best-practices so that when we are able to gather in small groups in the building, we can do so well and safely.
3.) It is recommended that congregations and communities of faith use this time to pay particular attention as people of faith to those in your community, in our nation, and in this world who are most vulnerable during the pandemic and let that inform your ministry efforts.
- Trinity has and will continue to focus our ministry on the most vulnerable. We are taking special care to realize the pandemic affects different people and different groups of people differently. Please let us know if you have needs we could be better meetings. Also, please know that Trinity still has a COVID response team to address financial and other needs, if you have needs (financial or other) or would like to contribute to that fund or other needs, please reach out.
This Task Force will continue to meet. If there is something you would like to bring to the attention of the task force, our next meeting will be Thursday, July 9. Thank you for your grace through this time. The church has never been closed because we, as people, are the church. We, all, continue to do ministry, we continue to do God’s work in our world – and that is what it means to be church. The church was never closed, only our building.

Virtual Worship
Join your Trinity family (virtually) for worship and education! We are a community that still gathers together. We are socially connected, even if we are physically distant in these moments. We continue to pray for this community, for our country, for our world, for those of us protected, and for those that go unprotected. We are all family together.
