Since the beginning of the pandemic Trinity has suspended regular office hours for the health and safety of staff. Staff has been operating in a virtual environment using mobile phones and home offices, and has had the flexibility of coming into the church office only when necessary.

As restrictions are slowly being lifted and Trinity is reevaluating and readjusting our COVID response policy, we find that we are able to open for regular published office hours once again. Beginning June 1 we will maintain in-person office hours on Tuesday and Thursday from 8am – 4pm.

Support staff will still be available for any needs or inquiries you may have virtually on Mondays and Wednesdays and you are encouraged to contact them via email or cell phone on any business day. This will provide coverage for our full work week of Monday through Thursday, 8am – 4pm.

With the worldwide grand experiment of pivoting to virtual officing, Trinity has been able to provide continued care and ministry throughout the pandemic. We have also found multiple benefits and flexibility to being virtual. We will continue having discussions about the wider idea of what the new normal may be, weighing advantages to determine the most effective way to conduct ministry.

If you have any ideas or input about both your experience in working virtually with the staff or determining the best in-person versus vitual balance, we welcome your input. Please email your ideas to TLCinfo@tlcms.org.
