Worship with US

Trinity Church Wrentham has established the following Worship Protocol, effective August 25 until further notice in accordance with information received from the Diocese:

• REQUIRED:  Maintain physical distancing (6 feet or more) between households at all indoor gatherings.
• REQUIRED:  Masks must be worn by everyone (except children age 2 and under) at all indoor gatherings.  
• REQUIRED:  COVID vaccination of all persons engaged in ministry with children age 12 and under, homebound or immune-compromised persons, and those in hospitals and care facilities.  
• EXPECTED:  Monitor guidance from the CDC, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and civic authorities in the community, and adjust practices accordingly. 
• VIGILANCE TO PROTECT THE MOST VULNERABLE:  For some the vaccine is not yet available; for others, underlying medical conditions make vaccination inadvisable, less effective, or are at higher risk for serious illness should they contract COVID-19.  
• Physical distancing will be required between households. Seating is limited to every other row to protect those who are not yet fully vaccinated.   
• Face coverings are required for all. Per CDC, worshipers are encouraged to maintain face covering and distancing precautions.  
• At Passing of the Peace: physical contact is discouraged; a bow or hand to the heart remains the safer option.  At sharing of Holy Eucharist: only wafers will be distributed, until further notice.  
• Indoor singing: permitted by fully vaccinated people wearing masks.    
• Trinity will not require vaccination, nor documentation thereof, for attendance at services.  
• Virtual Sunday services: will continue to be offered via Zoom.
