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. 

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 September, we will celebrate the one year anniversary of this special group. During this past year, we have had the privilege of meeting incredible young adults and their families. By hosting this group at Concordia, we are helping and encouraging these young people to continue to build social and communications skills, allowing them to enjoy themselves in a safe environment, and make new friends.

Future fun events are planned. September will be the one year anniversary party, including Bingo and prizes. In October, we’ll have 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.
