SUMMARY:Rooted and Rising Choir Concert
DESCRIPTION:Rooted and Rising: Celebrating 40 years of the National Lutheran Choir \nFeaturing: National Lutheran Choir and St. Olaf Choir \nIn the turning of the season\, we rise—rooted in memory\, reaching toward the future. This program bursts forth in song\, celebrating the sacred bonds of community. Joined by Anton Armstrong and the St. Olaf Choir at Central Lutheran Church\, we honor the living legacy of the Lutheran choral tradition in the United States. \nFormer NLC Artistic Director David Cherwien joins us as guest organist as we mark 40 years of the National Lutheran Choir. Works by J.S. Bach\, F. Melius Christiansen\, Larry Fleming\, and David Cherwien bloom alongside new pieces by Earlene Rentz and Jennaya Robison. The concert concludes with a festival chorus of alumni and friends—celebrating four decades of song and the promise of many more to come as we proclaim\, “For all that has been\, Thank you. For all that is to come\, Yes!” (Dag Hammarskjöld) \nGet Tickets

SUMMARY:Confirmation Sunday
DESCRIPTION:The great group of 7th and 8th-graders who started their confirmation journeys three years ago are getting ready for confirmation. These students have been listening and learning and are ready to affirm their baptisms on Sunday\, May 3. Before then\, students will work with mentors throughout Lent to have conversations with trusted adults in their lives. These conversations will help them experience God and faith through the eyes of another person whose faith may have been shaped differently from their own. The coming weeks will be an essential time of formation for these young people so please keep them in your prayers as they prepare for this great milestone moment in their faith.
