Online worship will continue and it remains a valid, meaningful form of worship. Attend in-person worship because you want to and feel safe, NOT because you think you should. Those who attend in-person worship should be healthy and not have had recent contact with Covid-positive people. Worshiping in person will look and feel different but it will remain centered on Jesus Christ. Nor will we pass the peace, shake hands, or hug. We will enjoy listening to music from our talented musicians,īut we will not sing. Pews are marked to guide you in social distancing. If you choose to worship in person at Trinity, you will need to wear a mask the entire time you’re in the building.

However, we feel that the precautions we have in place will help us hold worship as safely as we can at this time. Please know this wasn’t an easy decision for us. One of the many important things we did was to vote that we will start regathering for On Sunday, our new Council members were elected and two days later they attended their first Council meeting! It was a good meeting. Council has started the task of identifying a realtor to assist with this process by reaching out to the realtors at Trinity. While we hope that we can get out what we put in, we know that the house requires some significant updates by the new owner. According to tax records, we purchased the home for $150,000. Sale of the Adams Street Property – The Council now has permission to sell this property. We will vote on this for a second, and final, time in January.ģ. Thank you to Ron Michaelis and Tom Hawkinson for your diligent, detailed work on this project. First Ratification of Constitution – Trinity had not kept up with the regular updates from the ELCA to the constitution and we’ve accomplished the work to bring us up to date. I’m thankful for the work of outgoing council members Sheryl McCarthy, Craig Gierzak, and Vicki Steinke.Ģ. Election of New Council Members – I’m excited to work with Randy Recob, Jill Henze, and Maggie Messler. On Sunday, August 23, we held our semi-annual meeting with 64 voting members and four confirmation students attending.
