Living God, grant comfort in suffering to all who are in need of healing.
When they are afraid, give them courage; when afflicted, give them patience;
when dejected, give them hope; and when alone, assure them of the support of your holy people.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

1. Our online giving platform Tithely
2. Direct giving through bank account bill pay programs
3. Mailing offerings to the church

The church sanctuary is open Monday through Friday from 10 am to 2 pm for individual prayer and meditation. Masks, distancing, and check-in protocols have been established and those who wish to come onsite are required to bring a mask and enter by the west side office entrance only.
Church staff and small group gatherings have begun to transition onsite. Phase 4 includes the directive “safer at home,” but we will begin to see more of our Trinity leadership team onsite at the church.
Plans are underway for another outdoor worship service with Holy Communion (wafer only) on the church west lawn on Sunday, September 20th at 11 am. Live streaming of worship at 9:15 am continues weekly, but the plan for once-a-month outdoor communion services is continuing this fall, aligned with the governor’s indication that outdoor gatherings of up to 100 are being permitted. This will be a brief, spoken service of Holy Communion – plan to bring a lawn chair or blanket, to bring masks for all and to keep distancing between family groups. The rain date will be September 27th. On Sunday, October 4th, the outdoor service will include a Blessing of the Animals.
Onsite small groups and meetings for up to ten inside the building and up to 100 outdoors are now possible to schedule. Call the church office if you would like to schedule your Trinity program onsite – masks, distancing and all other safety protocols will be required and only the west side office entry will be unlocked for access to the building.
We continue to await the transition to Phase 5 state guidelines. With that transition, the movement onsite for small Sunday worship services will be possible. Watch for details in upcoming communications.
