Dear Concordia Alumna/us,
And just like that, it's time to pack up and head back to campus! While most students will arrive at the end of the month, student athletes are arriving now to begin training for the upcoming season. My favorite group is the volleyball team - they chant while they take their morning run through campus. As we enter a new year of ministry to students at CUAA, may we ask for your prayers?
In His Service,
Laura
