The latest news at Concordia Lutheran Church in Houston, Texas.
WOMEN’S CLUB
The Orphan Grain Train School and Teacher Kit assembly took place on August 29, and it was very successful as 51 school kits and 10 teacher kits were assembled. Nine Concordia ladies participated in organizing the supplies and then putting them into the backpacks. Concordia members generously contribute many of the supplies, and thank you to them and also to Thrivent who supplemented funds to help with purchases.
If you would like more information on Orphan Grain Train and its impact on people near and far, check out their website on www.ogt.org. We are thankful for their generosity in sharing Jesus’ love to others.
LWML Sunday—October 5, 2025
The Ascension text of “GO” (Luke 24:44–53) is the mission emphasis for Lutheran Women in Mission Sunday 2025. On Ascension Day, Jesus gave his followers an assignment “that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations.”
Lutheran Women in Mission continue to support, encourage and uplift missionaries, and also provide physical support and compassion to all people. It is the proclamation of repentance and forgiveness of sins in Jesus’ name that motivates us to do this work. Concordia Women’s Club members will be participating in the special LWML worship service on October 5.
Also on this date is the LWML Fall Rally beginning at 2:00 p.m. (registration begins at 1:30 p.m.) at Our Savior Lutheran Church, 5000 West Tidwell Rd., Houston, TX. The theme is “Blessed are They.”
Special Needs Social Group
As young adults transition from high school classes through the Special Ed programs and sponsored work assignments, they lose touch with peers, and in some cases become isolated in our busy world. We are serving these individuals in our community, ages 18-35, with a safe place to meet once a month (second Sunday of each month) to reconnect with peers, and hopefully, make new friends. This group meets the second Sunday of each month at 2:00 p.m.
In October, there will be a costume party including a DJ and dancing.
If you would like to assist this group with the planned activities - help with table set up, food servicing or just to support the group, contact the church office.
