Ethan is the proud son of Jason and Elicia Hardenbrook and a loving brother to Paul and Paige. He is also the cherished grandson of Bill and Dorrie Hardenbrook, who have loved watching him grow from an energetic little boy into a confident young man ready to take on the future.

Whether he’s on the soccer field, spending time outdoors, working with heavy equipment, or relaxing with his dog, Ethan brings dedication and heart into everything he does. Through the Heavy Equipment Maintenance and Operation program, he discovered a passion for hands-on learning and real-world experience.

Family has always been an important part of Ethan’s story. From cheering him on at games to supporting his dreams every step of the way, the people around him are incredibly proud of the young man he has become.

Congratulations on being recognized during CTE Month at Kendall Jr./Sr. High School! Your future is bright, and your family couldn’t be prouder. 🚜🎓💛

💙 The ladies of Concordia are right back at it!

Just one week ago, they shipped out quilts made with love and dedication over the past year—and today, they’re already working on the next chapter. 🧵

This group doesn’t slow down… they just keep giving. 💛
Today they tied heir 6th qtuilt for next year!

So much heart, friendship, and purpose stitched into every piece. What a blessing to be part of something so meaningful.

🧵💛 A Labor of Love… and Faith 💛🧵

This past week was something truly special. After a year of dedication, creativity, and teamwork, these beautiful quilts were blessed—each one made with care, prayer, and purpose.

Then came the big job… and so many helping hands stepped in. From boxing to loading, it was all hands on deck to get them ready for their journey.

We are beyond grateful for the amazing women of Concordia, along with so many others from neighboring churches, who came together to make many, many quilts over the past year. What a beautiful example of community and compassion in action.

A huge thank you to Bill Hardenbrook for donating his time and trailer to help get everything where it needed to go—we couldn’t have done it without you!

These quilts are more than fabric… they’re warmth, comfort, and love being sent out into the world.

✨ On to a new year of stitching, serving, and sharing blessings.
