For the month of May 2020, the practices of TCRC are expected to be as follows (although if there is a further development with the virus situation, that could change, so stay tuned for additional announcements):

• Sunday morning worship services at our normal time of 10:30 a.m. will be held in-person at the church with the following notices:
  • If you are sick, or have continuing contact with someone who is sick, please stay home and use the live-stream.
  • If you are in an especially at-risk group (because of age, immune compromise, etc.), please stay home and use the live-stream.
  • Each family (that does not meet one of the exclusions above) should prayerfully consider whether to attend in person or continue using the live-stream.
  • Those that come in-person should observe social distancing practices to the greatest extent possible. This includes (but is not limited to):
    • Don’t congregate in the foyer either before or after the service; please proceed to a pew before the service and to outside the building after the service.
    • Please sit with only your family at least two rows away from any other family.
    • Don’t shake hands with or have close contact with any other families. Don’t allow your children to hug or touch people you are not currently living with.
    • We will not be using the normal in-pew Bibles or hymnals. Each family should bring their own copies of the older blue Trinity Hymnals to sing from. If you do not have one of these (or forget them that Sunday), we will give you a copy to keep.
    • The nursery room is open for use, but it will not be staffed. Please don’t gather in there, but you can use it for a quick diaper change or similar need.
    • If you want to wear a mask, feel free to do so.
    • The offering plate won’t be passed; a plate or other mechanism will be provided at the rear of the sanctuary for people to give to the church as they walk in or out of the service. (The online option at Tithe.ly is also available for use at https://tithe.ly/give?c=1649525 or checks can still be mailed to the P.O. Box.)
    • The Lord’s Supper will not be served this month.
  • Any that choose to stay at home should avail themselves of the live-stream on Sunday at 10:30 a.m. at (https://trinity-covenant-reformed-church.freeonlinechurch.com/live, or https://www.facebook.com/Trinity-Covenant-Reformed-Church-713834825445753/).
• Sunday School will not be held in person for now.
• After church fellowship lunch will remain canceled.
• Wednesday Bible Study will continue to be held virtually.
