“I have to get rebaptized? But I was already baptized.” “But that was a water baptism. It didn’t do anything. It’s only a symbol. So, you need to be baptized to join our church.” Lutherans who leave Lutheranism are not aware of this conversation or teaching. When joining a non-denominational church, they must get re-baptized. Why? Because the contemporary Evangelical
Trinity will be having its Fall Book Fair on Nov. 5-7. The Book Fair – which will be in the school library – will be open from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Nov. 5, and during Parent-Teacher Conferences on Nov. 6-7.

What’s next for Trinity Lutheran? It’s a legit ask. In the past year, Trinity underwent a much-needed refresh to its campus – both internally and externally. In the past 15 months, Trinity School has added almost 80 new students, along with a handful of new staff members. So, what’s next? St. Paul shares in 2 Thessalonians: In the name of
Tithing or tipping. I never had heard it said this way before; it struck me. Growth in giving doesn’t come automatically at conversion. Every believer needs instruction on what is God-pleasing.

Trinity’s soccer and cross country teams capped their 2024 seasons with hardware. Trinity’s JV and varsity soccer teams both advanced to Saturday’s (Sept. 26) conference championship match. Unfortunately, both teams finished as the conference runners-up. The JV Tigers lost in an overtime shoot-out to LIS, and the varsity squad lost 1-0 to Heritage Christian. Trinity’s JV team finished its season
As the school bus began to pull away from Trinity’s main parking lot, the driver honked the horn, acknowledging the waving kindergarteners who lined the sidewalk by the entrance of the church. “We wanted to tell them bye and to have a good time,” one of Trinity’s kindergartners shared, regarding the bus load of Trinity seventh-graders and leaders who were
There’s light at the end of the tunnel for the intersection at Central Park and Marquette Street. The City of Davenport notified Trinity on Monday, that beginning – at some point – on Tuesday (Oct. 1) there would be one lane of traffic open in all directions at the intersection of Central Park and Marquette Street. For the time being,
Which is it? Is what? The manner or mode of Jesus’ blood given in the Supper. Individual cup OR Common cup. Let’s look at Scripture. The Gospels include “cup” (singular) in the Words of Institution. “And He took a cup…” (Matt. 26:27, etc). But there is no reference in Scripture that the Church should use only one cup. Yes, Jesus
