Trinity’s Church Council has voted to relax our COVID restrictions effective immediately. Here are some things you need to know:
- We have one in-house service at 9 AM through August and will continue to livestream via Facebook.
- Members and visitors are still requested to sign in for worship services.
- Masks and social distancing are optional. This means that you may sit anywhere in the sanctuary. Chairs will remain set up in the narthex for anyone who still wishes to socially distance. We ask that everyone be respectful of others and their choices.
- Before the service, the pews will be wiped down, door handles will be wiped down, and the fixtures in the restrooms wiped down.
Trinity,
At our May 11, 2021, Church Council meeting we were given a roof inspection findings report by our property committee. The report from a local contractor stated that Trinity's Church roof does not need to be replaced immediately. That is the good news. The contractor also stated that within 6 years it will be in need of replacement at a cost of approximately $70,000. That is in 2021 dollars, and certainly Trinity doesn't have that amount on hand. Additionally, it was reported that the materials (shingles) needed to do the replacement are not available due to the pandemic. Church Council has passed a motion to create a Roof fund which Trinity's members can support using the monthly Maintenance envelope found in the weekly offering envelope packet, or use the weekly envelope and mark your contribution "Roof" on the Designated Gift line.

Upcoming Events
Trinity;
The Property Committee and interested members are going to change the way the landscaping looks in the front of our church. To my knowledge this area was landscaped and planted when the current church was built, in the twenty plus years the look has changed from beautiful to something less. The weeds are winning, the trees and bushes are overgrown and various plants are growing wherever. The idea is the remove all the plants and bushes, trim the trees back severely and remove a few trees that are unnecessary, move the ornamental rocks to someplace and plant and grow grass in the church front. If there is a member or members who would like a specific plant or bush or vine please feel free to remove it. The work needed will most likely occur in the fall, the committee will begin to solicit estimates for the tree work as well as pursue the landscape portion as well. We hope to reduce or eliminate the water issue we have in the cellar after heavy rains. Questions may be directed to Dennis, Howard, or Randy and we are always looking for help.
Sincerely:
Randy Kehl
