The latest news at Concordia Lutheran Church in Houston, Texas.
WOMEN’S CLUB
On Friday, August 30, 2024, five volunteers assembled kits for Orphan Grain Train—56 school kits and 10 teacher kits. The participants were Joan Pressly, Susan Brenan, Lupe Coleman, Dorcus Coulter, and Genie Etzel. Also thanks to JoAnne Nickens and Dorcus Coulter for delivering the kits to the OGT collection site in Pasadena. Concordia is blessed with generous hearts and helping hands to donate items, complete the kits, and deliver them.
As redeemed children of God, Lutheran Women in Mission give thanks for the opportunity to serve others as we have been served, to proclaim that Jesus is our Lord and that He came for all nations, and to respond with our mite offerings to support God’s mission. Our example has been the widow and her mites. The offering she made was observed by our Lord leading Him to share that her copper coins, her mites, were “everything she had, all she had to live on” (Mark 12:43). May our mite offerings be blessed for our Lord’s kingdom.
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.

REFORMATION SUNDAY - October 27, 2024
Join in our Sunday worship at 9:00 a.m. as we mark the day Martin Luther nailed the 95 theses on the Church door in Wittenberg, Germany, and unleashed a revolution in the Church that changed the course of the western world.
Luther professed the free and gratuitous remission of sin by faith in Jesus Christ.
If you desire, wear the celebratory color of red.
