ONE NATION UNDER GOD
At times, it has erupted into protests, violence, arson and looting. Distrust and suspicions arise on both sides. What we forget is that we are all creatures of God, equally children of Adam and Eve. We forget that our first parents were created in the image of God, that image is an important unifying force that defines our shared human identity. We forget that God loves the beautiful diversity of His human creation as much as He loves the vast array of plants and animals He has created. And we forget that His Son, Jesus Christ, has redeemed each and every one of us.
This Bible study will seek to pull back the covers over the racial issues that divide us so that we can better understand one another and search the Scriptures for a hopeful path forward.

Trinity Prayers
Many of our lives have been turned upside down during these past several weeks, and while we may look back and find a blessing in it, these uncertain times are causing stress and anxiety.
Trinity’s pastoral staff is longing to share the Word and the precious Sacrament of Holy Communion with you inside our church, while the school staff is longing to see your children walk into their classrooms.
In response to this crisis, the Caring Connections Task Force has been created. This task force is formulating plans for how we can all express and demonstrate the love and care of Christ.
One of the plans of this group is shown by the picture of the Tree Cross (pictured above) that now holds the prayer requests that have been nailed there in the past couple of days. Prayer requests can be emailed to prayers@trinitydavenport.org or by filling out our online form here.
All requests will be nailed to the tree that is in the sanctuary. God hears. God listens. God answers all prayers.

trinity lutheran churchschool
Welcome to Trinity Lutheran ChurchSchool! What is this place? It's where you meet God, the One who revealed Himself in Jesus Christ! It's where you'll experience the absolute joy of the freedom you have in His forgiveness. It's where your consciences are cleansed by His Word; it's where you gain confidence to live with strength, for you and for your children. It's where you have bible study after bible study, seeking the truth in-depth and personal.
Did you notice "ChurchSchool"? Yes, we do know how to spell but this has purpose in mind. God is working in unity both through the church and the school: at church, He surprises with His Father's forgiveness; at school, He uses the faculty to teach the children of the Father's world. The work is His; we're privileged to be His mouth, hands and feet.
So jump on in, join us on the journey to heaven!
Trinity School closes out its 150th year with a parade
