Until the Harvest…Hear!
This weekend, Jesus’ parable of the weeds reminds us that we live in a world where good and evil grow side by side. We long for everything to be made right, yet our Lord calls us to trust His timing. Until the harvest, we hear His Word, receive His gifts, and rest in His promise that He will make all things right when He comes again.

Whether you’ve been in church for years or you’re looking for hope, you’re invited to join us as we gather around Christ and His life-giving Gospel.

Come with hearts ready to hear, repent, receive His forgiveness, and rejoice in the sure hope that belongs to all who are His.

We’d love to welcome you this Saturday at 6pm and Sunday at 9am. Come and hear the Good News of Jesus Christ!

TLS is excited to add this much-needed full-time role to its school staff. The activities director will continue to strengthen athletics while also developing non-athletic opportunities that build future leaders, support student growth beyond the classroom, and reflect the interests’ parents shared in recent surveys.

We are excited to announce the hiring of Mr. Ryan King as our Activities Director. Mr. King served as one of TLS’s part-time athletic directors from 2023 to 2026. Before that, he coached in the boys’ basketball program as JV Boys Basketball Head Coach from 2017 to 2024, Varsity Boys Basketball Assistant Coach from 2017 to 2023, and Varsity Boys Basketball Head Coach from 2023 to 2025.

A 2013 TLS graduate, Mr. King currently works as a Commodities Supervisor at Van Meter’s Atlanta, Georgia, facility. He will return to Iowa in August to begin his new role as Activities Director at TLS.

When asked what he looks forward to most in the role, Mr. King replied, “I am excited to make a positive impact on our students’ lives. I want our school activities to create lifelong memories for our kids and provide opportunities for personal growth beyond the classroom.”

TLS has supported an athletics program for many years and over the course of time we have offered a few additional extracurriculars. The parents have asked for more opportunities and the staff fully support those requests. Dr. Karen Bahn, Principal, commented, “By adding a full-time Activities Director position we can not only provide more extracurricular opportunities to a variety of ages, but we are also prioritizing relationship and community building at TLS.”

Mr. King will begin his new role as TLS’ Activities Director in mid-August. He will be working out of the school office and his contact information is: kingr@trinitycr.org * 319-362-6952 x1243.

Applying God’s Word to our lives: This word of God teaches us an important truth about the Word of God—that God’s Word is efficacious! This means that God’s Word is powerful to bring about God’s intended effect. Your faith in Christ as your Savior is proof that God’s Word is efficacious, because it was only through the Word of the Gospel that the Holy Spirit called you to faith and created in your heart this faith that clings to Christ and His promises. Oh, how rich in blessing is the Word of God! Treasure God’s Word and use it diligently, as God intends.

Keep God’s Word in your hearts always by joining your Trinity family in memorizing these verses with us this week!
