“And He is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things He might have the preeminence.”
-- Colossians 1:18

Dear fellow alumni,
Can you believe it? Our 60th academic year is underway and our students are smiling! Their faces may be new, but some things never change - like dorm pride and which side of campus is the greatest. I lived in Esther, so of course “West is Best”! (I’m guessing many of you disagree!) 😊
Another thing that never changes is that we are proudly LCMS and remain faithful to our Lutheran identity. Alumni from the Class of 1972 enjoyed their 50th reunion on campus a few weeks ago, and so many of them expressed that more than anything else, they cherish the spiritual formation they received here at Concordia.
By the way, you don’t have to wait for your 50th reunion to come back to campus! Let me know if you’d like to set up a visit for you or a potential student.
A final constant that forever remains the same is our cornerstone verse from Colossians 1:18, that in ALL things, Christ has preeminence. Thanks be to God!
Walking together with you in faith,

Final Thought from
Campus Pastor Randy Duncan

Each morning during the school year, our campus pastor, Randy Duncan, sends out an email full of inspirational thoughts, concepts to ponder, scripture, and prayer requests. We thought we would share some of his thoughts with you each month for us to contemplate.
Final thought: If you want more kindness in the world, put it there.
