COVID-19 Update
Dear Worshipping Community and Friends of Holy Trinity:
“Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand; and we boast in our hope of sharing the glory of God. And not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.” Romans 5:1-5 NSRV
As we share the events of our time and try to make sense of what we should do, I find the above words comforting and hope you do, too! The current COVID protocols given by the county and federal governments provide us with guidelines. Each time we worship, we are reminded in the announcements and bulletin: “For the love of one another, we kindly ask that you keep your mask on during the duration of this service.” Please know that the Pastors, Council and Leadership of Holy Trinity are working on procedures to fulfill these requirements and will continue to monitor available data as it becomes available in making decisions for worship and other events. Further information will be communicated via email, the website, and in the bulletin. As always, you can call the church office if you have questions.
Perhaps the most unsettling part of the situation is the uncertainty we are experiencing. It’s also a time of transition for the congregation at Holy Trinity as we prepare to extend a call for a Pastor.
The Ministry Site Profile Team has been working to compile information that will provide potential pastoral candidates an overview of what our expectations for the future might look like.
I’d like to encourage you to attend two important upcoming events:
● Budget Presentation and Explanation (Sunday, December 19, 2021; 9:30 am, Redeemer Hall) This session will detail the income and expenditures proposed for the upcoming year, along with a visual representation via graphs.
● Annual Congregational Meeting (Sunday, January 23, 2022; at the end of each worship service) Agenda items include: approval of the budget and candidates for council.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
Barb Wozniak
President, Church Council
