As I think over the past year that I have been at Trinity, I think of blessings, solitude, and a peace that surpasses all understanding. While it was quiet, and we enjoyed just the staff, it was a refreshing time to see the church come alive again as people slowly started visiting and some of the volunteers came in to assist in their various departments. It is always a pleasure to see a warm smile or the crinkly smiles through masks when you see the glitter of joy in someone’s eyes. Those are some of the things that I took for granted before the pandemic when we could see anyone and everyone anytime we wanted. Now I realize that “tomorrow is not promised, so appreciate the ones you love today!” I enjoy sitting here at the Welcome Center greeting everyone as they come in, and I appreciate all the love and kindness that I get to experience here at Trinity. I cannot wait to see you all!
