Greetings!

By now you should have received your Stewardship packet. I simply want to highlight the two letters you should have found in there and provide links to them here, to provide another opportunity to provide consistent communication and highlight the addition of an indoor/in-person worship.

The first letter you should have read in the packet was in regards to your Estimate of Giving to Holy Trinity for 2021. Please read carefully the instructions and pray about the way you may continue your financial support of the ministry here, at Holy Trinity. If you haven’t seen the letter yet, you can access it here.

The second letter is in regards to resuming the process of becoming a Reconciling in Christ congregation. Again, this means that we are a church that has a public statement that welcomes and affirms people and has a specific mention of people who identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community. We will be holding 3 meetings to continue our conversation, one each on October 18, 19 and 20. There are in-person and virtual meetings available. You can read the letter announcing all of this here.

Third, this wasn’t in the packet, but it is important information. We are adding an indoor/in-person worship beginning Nov. 1. We will be following strict safety protocols and will require people to sign-up for it using Sign-up Genius. Look for instructions on how to attend the week of Oct. 25.

Lastly, things are hard right now. I mean, it is really difficult. Everyone seems to be on edge. We are annoyed quicker. Patience is thin. Frustration sets in immediately. Give yourself some grace. Give grace to others. All that we are dealing with is temporary. That doesn’t mean it isn’t hard, it just means that it won’t last. It will end. Things will get better. A new day is coming. Light is on the horizon. We will get there together.

Grace and Peace,

Pastor Tim
