Serving the Church is Serving the Lord
We Have A Problem Trinity has a big problem right now. We need more people to help in various places. We have people burning out because they have been serving on one committee for a very long time. And we have many places where there are great needs. On Rally Day, I was disappointed to see that not many people had signed up to do things. Now I am not trying to be rude toRead More
Goings On At Trinity
From the desk of Pastor Rieger Rather than a relevant devotion like we normally have for our newsletter, I thought it would be appropriate to update and inform many of you of the goings on around here. First, many of you have asked how I am doing with the increased workload. Truthfully? I’m doing fine. Of course it has been very busy but, like I’ve told many of you, it’s a good busy. I’m busyRead More
VBS: Rescued By Jesus
Vacation Bible School As August rolls around, we now see another round of VBS. I love VBS. I love seeing our people get together and serve some kids. I love seeing the kids jump around and have fun. I love seeing the adults being goofy with the kids. I love it all. What I love most about it, though, is the opportunity we have to teach these kids about God’s love for them. For us,Read More
Why We Celebrate – Freedom and Liberties
“For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery” (Gal. 5:1). Licentiousness We celebrate this month because of the freedoms and liberties our country has afforded us. We are right to do this. We should be thankful for these liberties: the freedom to gather together to worship and to live out what we believe in our daily lives. But freedom and liberty in ourRead More
Independence Day and Faith
Happy Independence Day Greetings from the Trinity Radio Club! We pray that your Independence Day holiday has been filled with happiness and fun. The reason we celebrate this day is important. On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence. It was this document that set our country on the road to the Revolutionary War and after years of battle, independence from Great Britain. “When in the Course of human eventsRead More
Spiritual Warfare
“What’s wrong with us?” Some of us must be feeling, “What’s wrong with us?” This congregation has certainly been hit with hard times. Losing one pastor to Alzheimer’s, losing another to cancer, seeing many pastors come through but not stay, and so on and so on. We saw our school go from hundreds to less than a hundred. We’ve seen people die, we’ve seen friends and family leave, we have seen it all. Why doesRead More
A Final Message From Pastor Nirva
1 Peter 5:6-7 “6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.” Remember the baby giraffe story. The mother giraffe gives birth to the baby. The baby struggles, wobbles and finally gets to its feet. But just as the baby has managed its first triumph, the mom does the most ungracious and seemingly cruelRead More

The Marks Of A Strong Church
(Acts 2:42) They devoted themselves to the apostles’ doctrine and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Towards the end of Acts 2, we read in verse 42 of the first church, “And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ doctrine and to the fellowship, and to the breaking of bread, and to prayer.” In the last part of verse 47, St. Luke writes, “And the Lord added to their number daily thoseRead More
