Dear Friends at Trinity,
Exciting news! We are planning to gather in-person outside for services on the front lawn of Trinity starting on Palm Sunday, March 28! You can join us at 8 am and 10am for our services OR at 9:30 am at Perry Green if you want to participate in blessing of the palms and join the procession up Center Street to the church with the choir! Information to come on how to sign up for services.
Please know that masks are required. Meanwhile, many of you have received the vaccine, or have an idea of when you are eligible to receive it. Your rector has received her first shot! I encourage you to get the vaccine and keep our community as safe as possible.
8 Things to Know About the U.S. COVID-19 Vaccination Program
- The safety of COVID-19 vaccines is a top priority.

- CDC is making recommendations for who should be offered COVID-19 vaccines first when supplies are limited.
- There is currently a limited supply of COVID-19 vaccine in the United States, but supply will increase in the weeks and months to come.
-
After receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, you may have some side effects. This is a normal sign that your body is building protection. **The COVID-19 vaccine cannot make you sick with COVID-19.
- Cost is not an obstacle to getting vaccinated against COVID-19.
- The first COVID-19 vaccines are being used under Emergency Use Authorizations (EUA) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Many other vaccines are still being developed and tested.
