Submitted by Jennifer Freudenburg Project Manager for the Concordia Center for the Family What if we as Christians prided ourselves in "going the extra mile?" Even better yet – what if we ARE the extra mile! What if that is our motto? It's all about a willingness – a value system. I know, we all need parameters and Sabbath rest, we all need to keep things in perspective and not get overloaded or feel we are being used or taken advantage of. I understand that. I guess I'm just talking about having an attitude of giving, and of helpfulness, and of genuine care. We can do that – I know we can.  Read more. . .   High School Youth Invited to Concordia Seminary's Vocatio Visitation Event Concordia Seminary, St. Louis will host the weeklong visitation event Vocatio for high school youth June 25-30 on campus.
