From Pr Wes Concerning In Person Worship
/Dear Members of Trinity,
With the spiking of the Omicron varient now reaching Pullman the Trinity Re-Opening (now called Trinity Covid Response) has been meeting and agonizing over our best response.
We will be holding Indoor Worship tomorrow at 10:30am but please be aware of the risks; especially if you are in a vulnerable group.
When faced with snow or ice we look out the window and weigh the risks, deciding if it is safe for us to venture out.
With COVID you can't see it, and I think that has created an environment where we are relaxing our guard. In today's paper the Whitman County Health Director said, "We are asking that residents take caution when planning or attending large indoor events, urging the use of higher quality mask such as KN95 and getting vaccinated." We are concerned about this spike both from the perspective of individual health, but also the strain it is already putting on our health system.
At Trinity we have implemented the following to create as safe an enviroment as we can::
Communion will be outside on the entrance patio following worship
KN95 masks have been ordered for Trinity and should be arriving next week
Masks are required indoors and please wear a KN95 if you have one
Chairs in the sanctaury have been spread out again to a distance of at least 6 ft
All windows and doors will be open so dress warmly
Choir will be practicing in the Fellowship Hall prior to worship
Air purifiers will be operating.
Our Trinity Online worship is an excellent alternative and can be found on Facebook, our Website, and email.
You have all done so well in this challenging past two years. As Saint Paul said, "Let us run with perserverance the race set before us."
Pr Wes
