Dear Concordia Alumna/us,
 
This is the beginning of end-of-year activities - think about how much we pack into these last two months! The holidays, festivals, traditions and family gatherings seem to go on all 59 days. As members of the Concordia family, I hope you feel the same about your Ann Arbor campus. You are family and our tradition is strong. God has richly blessed this campus! Join us for the 39th annual Boar's Head Festival, basketball and other winter sports competitions and 10:30 chapel on any day there are classes. If you're looking for a year-end charitable investment, feel free to call or go online and choose a gift designation that brings you joy!
 
In His Service,
  
Laura

Concordia's 9th Annual Veterans Day Celebration

Veterans, active duty and any guests are invited to attend the 9th annual Veterans Day Celebration at Concordia University Ann Arbor.

Have You Considered a Trip to Europe?
 
The Concordia Choir and Brass Ensemble will be embarking upon a Reformation journey and tour to Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic in May 2017. There is room for alumni and friends, but the deadline is imminent. More Information  
  

If a trip to Europe is not part of your plans, would you consider a gift to the music program to help defray the cost for a student? A mailed or online gift can be designated for Fine Arts (click music on the online form dropdown menu) and write or type "Europe - choir" or "Europe - ensemble" in the memo line or comments.

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
