Throughout the last semester, these distance students had been participating in course work preparing for their intensives here on campus. They're just finishing up their first week, and will continue through next week. Keep up the great work, everyone! You're halfway through!

The sun is shining on this beautiful winter day in St. Louis! A few more weeks of colder weather, then spring will be on its way before we know it...

"I want to see the brightness of God.
I want to look at Jesus.
Clear Sun of Righteousness, shine on my path,
And show me the way to the Father.
In Him there is no darkness at all.
The night and the day are both alike.
The Lamb is the light of the city of God.
Shine in my heart, Lord Jesus" (LSB 411:2).

Friends: We have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2022 Faith and Film Festival, which had been set for Jan. 27-29. We canceled the third annual event owing to low registration numbers, likely due to the pandemic. Our sincere apologies. We are now in the process of refunding all registrations.

Our plan is to move forward with next year’s festival as an in-person event Jan. 26-28, 2023. We hope you can join us!

In the meantime, we will be posting the winning short films from this year’s first-ever contest to the Concordia Theology website (https://concordiatheology.org/) along with some interpretive dialogue about why the judges chose these films as the best representation of the theme of hope.

Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to seeing you at next year’s event!

Happy Birthday to President Emeritus Dr. Dale A. M
