This past Saturday, the Student Association held the first ever Concordia Coffeehouse! For a couple hours in the afternoon, the campus community was invited to stop by Koburg Hall for some coffee provided by @gelateriacoffeeco and some live music provided by Ph.D. student Hayden Lukas, fourth-year seminary wife Angela Morris and second-year M.Div. student Adam Tanney. First-year student Chris Shearman, owner of the Gelateria Del Leone, also shared the story of the coffee shop, which is located in the Tower Grove neighborhood of St. Louis. It was a great afternoon of fellowship and community!
