At both seminaries in the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, the Master of Divinity degree is a four year program, and is by far the most common path to becoming a pastor. The third year of those four years is essentially an internship at an LCMS church—but instead of calling it an internship, we call it a “vicarage,” and those who are out serving in this capacity are called “vicars.”

Do you know who the 10 wealthiest Americans of 2021 were? Forbes does and according to them, people named Bill, Elon, Mark, Jeff, and Steve were among the leading wage earners. Feel free to Google their names, rankings, or income. While you are doing that, be sure to check out what industry they made their fortune in. Would it surprise you to know that 8 of the 10 wealthiest Americans in 2021 were in the technology field?

Mrs. Lisa Sherrod is the Director of the Study Center at CLHS. She helps students who need a little extra help with their academics. She is a parent of three Concordia alumni and a sibling to two Concordia alumni, including SFC Al Conrad, a JROTC instructor at CLHS.

This year’s marching show is based on the familiar hymn, “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing.” While this hymn isn’t typically played in a pompous manner, it is an absolutely stunning hymn with lots of emotion. In the design process, we found a handful of parallels between a fountain and our faith - literally and figuratively.

Amt pulled together two of his neighbors, Ed Reitenour and Tim Rupley (both of whom had no prior connection to Concordia); Tom Steinhauser, a friend from his same graduating class in 1964; and Steve Schnorr, a 1974 Concordia graduate and a friend of Eugene Parker, of whom the gym floor is named. Together, they began the hard work of cutting, sanding, and grinding the pieces of the original floor to share with others who spent so much time on the gym floor over the years. The pieces are now for sale.

In AP Literature, we sometimes refer to the different “lenses” of literary analysis. A reader analyzes the same piece of literature differently by looking at it through a psychological lens, a historical lens, or a Biblical lens, for example. It is my hope that our students will grow in their abilities to view literature and life through a Biblical lens.
