Faith Clings to the Word and Promises of God and Perseveres in Prayer 

“Left alone,” Jacob wrestled through the night with the Lord, “until the breaking of the day” (Gen. 32:24). Though “Jacob’s hip was put out of joint as he wrestled with him” (Gen. 32:25), he would not let go until the Lord blessed him. At times, we, too, strive with God; He strives with us and blesses us by grace. So Jesus teaches us “always to pray and not lose heart” (Luke 18:1). Jesus speaks of “a judge who neither feared God nor respected man” and of a widow “who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Give me justice against my adversary’” (Luke 18:2–3). Because of her persistence, the judge agreed to “give her justice” (Luke 18:5). Our Lord dispenses justice generously and swiftly, giving “justice to his elect, who cry to him day and night” (Luke 18:7). He does so according to the Gospel. Therefore, His ministers are to persevere faithfully in their vocation, in what they “have learned and have firmly believed” (2 Tim. 3:14). On the basis of “the sacred writings” (2 Tim. 3:15), they are to “preach the word” at all times and not lose heart (2 Tim. 4:2).

Trinity Lutheran Church & School: October 2025 News

This month, we focus on the Legacy of the Reformation, upcoming events, and important updates from our church and school community.

Focus on the Reformation

October 31st marks

Reformation Day, commemorating Martin Luther's posting of the Ninety-Five Theses in 1517. Pastor Jacob Dandy reminds us that the true legacy of the Reformation is in the gifts God restored to His Church through His Word. The movement placed God's Word back at the heart of Christian life, preaching, and teaching.

This legacy brought enduring treasures, including:

• Luther's Small Catechism—a simple guide to the Ten Commandments, the Creed, the Lord's Prayer, Baptism, Confession, and the Lord's Supper, which has served as a Christian family and congregation handbook for over 500 years.
• Reformed Worship—returning the liturgy and hymns to the people in their own language, allowing the congregation to actively participate.
• A Passion for Education—a commitment to building schools so children and families could read the Bible for themselves, a commitment that continues in our Christian school and Bible studies today.
• Assurance of Salvation—restoring the promise that we are justified by grace through faith in Christ alone, which brings confidence, comfort, and hope.
• The newsletter emphasizes that the Church must always be reformed by the eternal Gospel of Jesus Christ.

October Highlights and Events

• Pastor Appreciation Month: We praise God for blessing our congregation with three spiritual shepherds: Pastor Jacob Dandy, Pastor Marty Reed, and Pastor Michael Carney.
• Church Workers Conference: The Kansas District Church Workers Conference is on October 1st in Shawnee. Please pray for our pastors and workers.
• Usher/Elder Steak Fry: This event will be held on October 16th.
• Blood Drive: Our next blood drive is scheduled for October 20th.
• Sunday School Reformation Party: A fun activity for families is planned for October 26th.
• Reformation Day: Give thanks and praise to God on October 31st.
• Worship Times: Sunday Worship is at 8:00 a.m., 10:30 a.m., and 6:30 p.m..

Trinity Lutheran School (TLS) Updates

Principal David Birnbaum shares that the end of the first quarter is quickly approaching.

• Teacher Convention: Teachers are attending the National Lutheran Teachers Convention in St. Louis from October 2nd through the 4th. Please pray for their time and travel.
• Safety and Security: A major overhaul has been completed on the fire system, and the security system has been fully updated. They are working with local city leaders, including the City Manager, Chief of Police, and Fire Chief, to make the campus safer. You may see a police presence more often, especially on Wednesdays when students attend Chapel.
• Fundraising: To help fund needed improvements like replacing 40-year-old carpet and figuring out a plan for the gym floor, the school has applied for grants and is selling bags of Texas Roadhouse PEANUTS with a FREE appetizer card for $5.
• Future Shoe Drive: Start saving your old shoes! A shoe drive for developing nations is planned for February.

Let’s continue to grow together in faith, fellowship, and service. Pick up your copy at the church or school office or view it online.
