The beauty of the Boar's Head Festival and the bustle of A Manor Christmas activities made this a successful and impactful weekend. We had full houses for each of the performances and a steady stream of people taking Manor tours and enjoying the vendors, food, and entertainment on the Manor grounds. God has opened doors for Concordia and we are continually blessed by His abundant love and provision as we reach out to welcome you back for fellowship and invite others to get to know us. As we conclude 2018, make your New Year's resolution to support your alma mater through prayer, student referrals, career/intern referrals, and gifts of support.
In His Service,

.... No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
