I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:5
Dear Parents,
Last week we celebrated National Lutheran School Week (NLSW). CCA is one of over 2500 Lutheran schools across the country and internationally. Over 180,000 students experience and celebrate God’s gifts of love, grace, and mercy, and they learn to share those gifts with others.
Our theme this year is Connected. We are all connected as children of God and so thankful for that!
Lutheran schools are known for:
Our students experienced all kinds of different activities last week, including special class art projects, creative sculptures from our Student Council Food Drive, fun movies with popcorn, and Bingo with older buddies. On Wednesday we enjoyed an all-school chapel which included a joint worship via Zoom call with Pilgrim Lutheran School in Beaverton, Oregon. The week culminated with an NLSW Olympics on Friday, when our K-8 students enjoyed competing in many different relays and Bible Trivia. We all had a GREAT time!
Blessings on your week,
Sherrie Gibelyou

We are always looking for new items to procure for this fun event.
Do you own a business?
Would you like to make a donation, sponsor a table, or offer services?
Do you have new, unused items (boxed or unboxed) that you would like to donate?
Do you own a vacation rental or timeshare that you could offer up for the good of the cause?
The Hawk-tion is our #1 fundraiser of the year. It generates money that assists Concordia in many ways and is always a fun time! This year’s Make a Difference will focus on a complete facelift for our very busy gymnasium (more details to come). Let’s make this auction the best yet!
If you would like to donate or help in any way, please contact Samantha Hanson.
