"There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love."

-1 John 4:18

Dear Concordia alumni,

Happy New Year and Blessed Epiphany!

As we enter a new year, consider the timeless words of John above. We are grateful for a new year of opportunities and pray God’s blessings on you and your loved ones.

We hope our alumni newsletter brings you useful information and ways to stay connected.

Update from Mike Duffy, Interim Campus Executive

As we start a new year and semester on campus, I want to wish you a very happy New Year! We are all wearing our cold-weather gear as winter is upon us.

As you may have heard, we are hosting the Concordia Invitational Tournament on campus January 24-25. This is the last time CUAA will participate in CIT, so we hope we have lots of folks to cheer on our teams.

Click here to buy tickets now at $20 each. The cost will increase to $30 each for tickets bought at the door.

See the note below for more information about the alumni gathering at CIT.

Looking forward to seeing you back on campus!
