Dear Siblings in Christ,
It grieves me to inform you that Trinity will not be gathering for worship in person through June 15, 2020.
This is the message I received from our OR-ID Bishop, Elaine Stanovsky today:
"Worship Suspension and Building Closures Extended through June 15, 2020
As bishop of the Greater Northwest Area of The United Methodist Church, I am extending the suspension of in-person worship in United Methodist Churches and other ministries and the closure of church facilities to all but essential services throughout the Alaska, Oregon-Idaho and Pacific Northwest Conferences through June 15, 2020. This early in the phased reopening process, data on the spread of the virus is inconsistent and inconclusive. This date allows two more 14-day periods during which to assess whether COVID-19 cases are declining or increasing. Our churches will be on the leading edge of protecting public health, but not be on the leading edge of reopening at the risk of increasing exposures, infections and deaths." Updated 5/13/2020
Each Sunday Worship videos will get posted on Trinity’s Facebook page (Trinity United Methodist Church in Idaho Falls). Be sure to “like” and “follow” Trinity’s Facebook page if you want our content to show up in your personal Facebook feed. Please call Ruth at 208-419-7870 if you have difficulties finding the videos. Check Trinity’s YouTube channel for videos of weekly worship at: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZz1YGrdRCH6HIND2LpVCgg
Until we are able to worship together again in person, I will be holding you in prayer.
Blessings,
Reverend Ruth
