In response to Washington State's decision to end our mask mandate, as well as to Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department's decision to support the state's decision to end the mandate, Trinity will move to a "masks welcome but not required" policy during our services and events as of March 20. In alignment with local and state health department recommendations, we will continue to mitigate risks in other ways by encouraging those who attend events or services at Trinity to get vaccinated and boosted, wash hands regularly, and maintain a safe distance when possible. We understand that not all will be comfortable with the shift away from masking in indoor spaces. We anticipate that there will be some who continue to mask, regardless of crowd size. We encourage everyone to make the best decision for themselves, knowing that Trinity and its leadership will lovingly support the decisions of all those who attend. We have also upgraded all of our building's HVAC filters and have added freestanding HEPA filters in our children's classrooms, and will continue to offer masks at the door as well as easily-accessible hand sanitizer for all who enter.
