As CUW alumni (and with two of our children, thus far, attending), the strength, vitality, and Lutheran identity of our Concordias matter to my wife and me. “Lutheran” isn’t a label; it’s a confession—a strong and beautiful one! It’s a way of thinking, speaking, worshiping, and living that is centered in Christ, His Word, and His Sacraments, and it reaches into the lives of our neighbors and into all creation. The church needs us to be Lutheran. Our schools need us to be Lutheran. Our neighbors need us to be Lutheran. And the world needs us to be Lutheran.

Pause and Pray at 3:07 p.m.

At 3:07 each day, remember John 15:7 and pray for Christ's Church, the convention, our leaders, and the work of the Gospel among us.
