East Side Mission Church - Davenport Members
Having completed their catechism, five seventh grade students were confirmed at Trinity Lutheran Church in Vinton on Sunday, May 15. They were Amanda Burkey, Abigail Gloede, Kaitlin Isbell, Sarah Kreutner, and Bryce Shaw. We congratulate them, and welcome them as full members of our congregation.
Trinity Sunday School held their closing ceremony, Sunday, May 22. The Sunday School Children sang two songs to open the ceremony, then awards were given. Twenty of the children received Attendance pins. First year pins went to Kelcie Appleby, Abbie Elwick, Drew Elwick, Eli Powers and Weston Powers. Second year wreaths went to Carter Lamont, Brock Shaw, and Bryce Shaw. Third year bars were earned by Kaylie Appleby, Abby Gloede, Elly Gloede, Sophia Kreutner, and Emma Voyles. Fifth year bars went to Amanda Burkey, Ethan Horak, Lillie Larmont and Owen Rhinehart. Six year bars were earned by Sarah and Jonathan Kreutner.
Our newly confirmed seventh graders also received Growing in Christ Pins for the Lord’s Prayer, the Ten Commandments, the Creed and the Sacrament of the Altar. Following the pin awards, each class recited their memory verse. Then the eight Sunday School teachers and staff were recognized.
East Side Mission Church of Davenport was chosen to receive our Sunday School offerings this year. We were blessed to have 14 members of the East Side Mission Church come to our Worship Service and Closing Ceremony. Pastor Anderson received our offerings and told our congregation a little about their church and its activities. Our closing ceremony was closed by five year old Braydon Pardun from East Side Mission with an amazing a cappella solo of “My Jesus, My Saviour”.
