Connecting the Baltimore Lutheran-Concordia Prep Community
December 2018
Dear Alumni and Friends of Baltimore Lutheran School and
Concordia Preparatory School,

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him shall not perish
but have eternal life.--John 3:16

During this hectic time of the year, I hope each of you has time to pause in prayer and remember the reason for the season, the birth of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. At Concordia Prep we have been preparing for his birth through acts of charity, community celebrations, and prayer. Our Chapel services during Advent have focused on the true meaning of Christmas as we strive to develop young men and women of faith and service.

There is much to celebrate and much to be thankful for. We are grateful for each of you, your prayers and your support throughout the year. We hope to see you at one of our many celebrations in 2019.

May God bless you and those you love during this Christmas season and throughout the year.
 
In Christ,
Brent Johnson
Headmaster
