Sunday School begins on
September 12!!
We had a great year last year, followed by some summer fun
with Vacation Bible School. This year promises even more! Sunday School classes
are currently offered for Age 3 through 6th grade.
Registration and classes begin at 9:15 a.m. in the large classroom on the second
floor. We’ll see YOU there!
If you would like to be a part of our Christian Education/Sunday School ministry team, please talk to Pastor Charlie. Sunday School is a vital part of passing on the faith!! We need teachers, assistants, craft assistants - you name the task, we have a place for you! Come and share your faith!

Welcome Back Cook-Out and Pie Sale!
Sunday, September 12, right after the 10:30 worship service.
Hang around after worship for a lite lunch of grilled hot dogs, chips and a beverage, and BUY a PIE! It’s a great way to reconnect with your Concordia family after a long, hot summer! The Prayer Shawl group is hosting the pie sale, with proceeds going to support purchases of yarn & supplies for their ministry. See YOU there!!
Everybody’s Normal Till You Get to Know Them
Let’s face it – we need people!! There is no way around it. We crave friends; we value family. We thrive on connections. Yet, each of us carries flaws – flaws that we want to overlook in ourselves, but look for in others.We’re all weird. Folks around us may us may seem normal enough, but just wait till we get to know them – and they get to know us. In Everybody’s Normal Till You Get to Know Them, John Ortberg once again reveals his gift for sharing profound insights using a lighten-up approach. With winsome humor and a fondness for well-spun storied, he pops the myth of normalcy and hands us the keys to creating and sustaining relationships. That is, after all, how God created us.
