Reflection is an important part of celebrating the end of a calendar year. Concordia students have all completed their studies for the semester and they are reflecting upon their performance as they receive their grades this week. Concordia faculty are reflecting upon their curriculum and methods as they deliver grades this week. You can reflect with us as we share the joys and accomplishments of 2016 in this and future newsletters. Most importantly, we reflect on the Child who we celebrate this season and who is the Light and Hope of all years. Christmas Joy to you as you celebrate his presence with us!
In Christ,
Laura Thomas
Director of Donor Relations

Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth. I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. John 17:17-21
