From the COVID Task Force Team:
Dear Trinity Family,
The COVID Task Force has met over the last several months to meet and navigate these difficult times and situations. We have asked for and listened to your feedback, and we understand there is no decision we can make that will make everyone happy. As we have done since the pandemic started, Trinity is continuing to follow the Rocky Mountain Synod guidelines (in italics below). To read the whole document, please click HERE. These are the newest recommendations which came out from the synod August 4.
1.) It is recommended that congregations and communities of faith continue to prioritize worship opportunities that are safe, accessible, invitational, meaningful, and sustainable. The use of an online/digital platform remains the highest recommended format for corporate worship through at least the end of the calendar year. Any in-person worship experience should prioritize an outdoor venue, small groups, physical distancing, and the use of face coverings. There is a strong likelihood that corporate in-person worship that is able to include all parishioners inside of a church building will not be advisable well into 2021.
It is with sadness that Trinity will follow this recommendation. Please know these are not decisions that are made lightly. We grieve not worshipping together in person. We do believe that this is the best decision for the safety or Trinity and of our community.
2.) It is recommended that congregations and communities of faith continue to offer low-risk, in-person gatherings tailored to the needs and vulnerabilities of the various people within your setting for the sake of the emotional, physical, communal, and missional health and well-being of the congregation/ministry.
Trinity is following this recommendation. We are encouraging small groups to meet in-person as able with online options for those who are unable to meet in-person. We have developed a strict building use policy (HERE) and waiver (HERE). If you would like to schedule a small group meeting in-person, please review the building use policy and contact the church office for availability.
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.
Priority should be given to anti-racism work that addresses individual and corporate contributions to systemic racism and a culture of white supremacy/privilege for the sake of understanding and dismantling such injustice and fostering authentic diversity in our church and nation.
Trinity has and will continue to focus our ministry on the most vulnerable and living into this recommendation to its fullest, including prioritizing anti-racism work. We are also 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.
4.) It is recommended that every congregation/ministry of our synod take advantage of this disorienting time of pandemic to intentionally ask “church becoming” questions. What does it look like to more fully become the church the Spirit needs us to be for the life of God’s beloved world? What conversations, partners, and resources will help you explore the future we are being called to embrace as the Body of Christ in our time and place?
As the COVID task force has met together over the last several months, the goal has been to re-open the building. As it has become apparent that will not happen on a corporate level until well into 2021, the task force is proposing to the council to disband the re-opening task force and instead put in place a “Church Becoming” task force. That task force would explore and discern what it means to be church for God’s beloved world now and into the future. If you would like to be part of the “Church Becoming” task force, please reach out to any member of council or staff.
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

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.
