Dear Church,
Trinity is a Reconciling in Christ (RIC) Congregation, and on this weekend we gather with other congregations around the country to proclaim Welcome, Inclusion, Celebration. As a RIC congregation, we make public commitments to….
- Welcome people of “all sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions” or “LGBTQIA+” and commit to racial equity or antiracism.
- Be Open to calling an LGBTQIA+ and Black, Brown, Indigenous, Person of Color (BIPOC) Rostered Leader.
- Be a community space/sanctuary used for LGBTQIA+ weddings and blessings.
- Make a meaningful contribution annually to support the national RIC program.
We invite you to take a few minutes and watch this sermon from Aubrey Thonveld, Exec Director of Reconciling Works.

When does weather cancel church?
Trinity does not have an official cancellation policy, but the rule of the thumb that leadership has agreed upon is that weekly church events will be canceled when Poudre School District delays or cancels events. On the weekends, worship will not be canceled. As always, use your best judgment in poor weather conditions, and know that you are still loved by God if you miss Bible Study, Choir, or Worship. We will post cancellations to our website, facebook page, and a mass email to all of you.
