As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace. —1 Peter 4:10
We congratulate our most recent group of Concordia University Ann Arbor alumni who have received calls or designations to serve in ministry settings. We pray the Lord’s blessings in their vocations.
