Upcoming Events
Concordia quilters donated #130 Amish Roman Strip Quilt for the upcoming Northeast Minnesota Synod Campaign to alleviate hunger.

The item has been posted to the website and is ready for viewing. Even though the bidding will not open until April 27th at 8 am, you can view the items at the auction site. The Quilts will be displayed at the Synod Assembly May 3-4. Bidding will end at 11:30 am on May 4th.
