CELEBRATE CONCORDIA!

Join with other congregations celebrating Concordia Sunday on April 20 
(or another Sunday of your choice)! Concordia Sunday provides a special 
opportunity to celebrate the gift of colleges and universities that 
prepare individuals for service to the Church and world. This 
celebration highlights the importance of Christian higher education in a 
Lutheran context. It is also an opportunity to encourage both youth and 
adults in the congregation to consider serving in positions that benefit 
both the LCMS and society through preparation at a Concordia. Make this 
a special occasion!

To order materials to help celebration of Concordia Sunday, go to 
http://www.lcms.org/universities or call 1.800.248.1930 X 1252.
