News and Announcements

Do you ever have one of those “my fingers are puffy, my shoes feel tight, and I have bags under my eyes” kinds of days? Sodium, rather too much sodium may be the culprit. Sodium affects not just our appearance, but also our heart health. This excess fluid can cause our hearts to overwork.

This month we celebrate the 500th Anniversary of the Reformation, and in doing so, we look back with thanksgiving, and look forward with hope and promise that God is with us and that His word in scripture, holds truth and instruction for our lives.

Concordia Lutheran High School’s alumni mentor program continues this month with 1996 graduate Ariana (Mallett) Racz.

This year’s Service Day was Friday, October 6. For over 20 years CLHS students and staff have gone out into the community for a day of service. My oldest memory of this event takes me back to mulching at an assisted living home and spending some time with residents. I cannot recall how the work site was decided; what I do remember is going out as a school in “homerooms” of anywhere from 15-30 students.

On Friday, I was privileged to attend the worship service that was part of the Indiana Lutheran Teacher’s Conference. Wow! I felt like I had a taste of heaven during the singing of the hymns. The participants sang with joy and gusto while the instruments and the A Cappella choir added to the jubilance. There were chills for me. One of the hymns was “Thy Strong Word.”

The tract “Jesus and the Qur'an” was written by the Rev. Joseph P. Gudel and published by Good News Publishers in 2008. The publication aims to share the Gospel in a positive light with Muslims by highlighting the similarities between the two religions.

What an amazing three weeks we have had! The CLHS student body and faculty warmly welcomed 12 students and one teacher from Madrid, Spain on August 27. Twelve Concordia students in particular were touched by this wonderful experience.

One of my favorite parts of this job is explaining our financial aid and scholarship opportunities to parents and then seeing their faces light up when they realize that they can afford CLHS!

Stories. They begin when we are little and listen to them being read to us. Stories are shared with us throughout our lives in school, in the news, on social media and through conversations with friends and peers. Then as older, wiser and mature adults, stories are shared with younger generations of all they’ve seen and been through over the years. Stories help connect us to one another.

Thirty-four Concordia Lutheran High School students were inducted into the National Honor Society during a special ceremony Sunday evening.
