Those Who Wait on the Lord Shall Rejoice 

The people of God are pilgrims and sojourners in this world, looking ahead to a destination yet to come (1 Peter 2:11–20). Though we are now children of God, the fullness of what we shall be has not yet been revealed (1 John 3:1–3). We are those who wait on the Lord. “The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him” (Lam. 3:25). Jesus tells us that the wait is just a little while. “A little while, and you will see me no longer; and again a little while, and you will see me” (John 16:16). Though you must experience sorrow for a time, though you must live as strangers in a world that is at enmity with Christ, yet your sorrow will be turned to joy when He returns. “But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength” (Is. 40:31). The little while of weeping shall be replaced with an eternity of rejoicing in the presence of Christ the crucified and risen Savior. “And no one will take your joy from you” (John 16:22).

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.
