The Wounds of Christ Give Us Life

“For there are three that testify: the Spirit and the water and the blood” (1 John 5:7). These three point to Christ and flow from Christ. Jesus shows His disciples His hands side, from which blood and water flowed, saying “Peace be with you.” He presents the wounds which turn our fear to gladness and which restore us to the Father. Jesus breathes on His disciples and says, “Receive the Holy Spirit” (John 20:23). His breath, His words are Spirit and life. They raise up our dry, dead bones and give us new and everlasting life (Ezek. 37:1–14). Christ now gives His ministers to speak His forgiving, Spirit-filled words to the penitent in His stead. Our Lord continues to come to His people, presenting His wounds to us in the Sacraments of water and blood. He bids us to touch His side at His table, to receive His risen body and blood in true faith, that believing we may have life in His name.

April 2026 Newsletter Highlights

April at Trinity Lutheran Church and School is filled with the joy of Easter, vibrant ministry activity, and a full calendar of opportunities to worship, learn, and serve together.

Easter Reflections 
Pastor Jacob Dandy reminds us that the resurrection of Jesus is not only a historical event but a present reality. “Christ is not absent. He is risen, and He is still at work for His Church.” 
Through His Word, Baptism, and the Lord’s Supper, the living Christ continues to come to His people with forgiveness, life, and salvation.

Holy Week & Easter Attendance 
Nearly 500 worshipers gathered to celebrate the Resurrection on Easter Sunday. Holy Week services—including Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday’s Stripping of the Altar, Good Friday, and Tenebrae—were deeply meaningful and well attended.

School News 
Trinity Lutheran School wrapped up a busy March with VIP Day, Book Fair, Step-Up Day, and more. Students enjoyed Clydesdale horses, art exhibits, and upcoming Pony Express activities. The school also prepares for Kansas State testing and spring events like the April 17 Carnival and April 30 Trinity Circus.
