THE TENTH COMMANDMENT - NIV You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.

What does this mean? We should fear and love God so that we do not entice or force away our neighbor's wife, workers, or animals, or turn them against him, but urge them to stay and do their duty.

THE TENTH COMMANDMENT - KING JAMES Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his cattle, nor anything that is thy neighbor's.

What does this mean? We should fear and love God that we may not estrange, force, or entice away from our neighbor his wife, servants, or cattle, but urge them to stay and do their duty.

"Humanly speaking, the future of our Lutheran Church in America depends, above all, upon the parochial schools." Dr. C. F. W. Walther, quoted in NEWS SERVICE, July, 1939, p. 4.

Dear Trinity Lutheran Church, Thanks for the opportunities to be able to go to Trinity Lutheran School, so we can learn the word of the Lord.

Why I Am Thankful for My Education at Trinity Lutheran School I am thankful because I can have religion class and learn about God; that I have good friends, a lunch, a ride to school, and people to help me with homework. I have parents that get me up in the morning to go to school. I am thankful for the small classes and good teachers. That's why I am thankful for my education at Trinity Lutheran School!
