Trinity Lutheran Church Davenport Mission Kids Group

Trinity Lutheran Church began a Mission Kids group last year to learn about missions and how they can help. They have been invited to various LWML activities and have been involved with their moms.

On September 4, Tirzah Krey from the Dominican Republic came to visit the school. During lunch she met with the Kids for lunch to talk to them about being a missionary. They also made cards for Tirzah to take to the missionaries she works with in the Dominican Republic. She met that evening with a presentation about her work in the Dominican Republic.
