Concordia Lutheran Church

Concordia Lutheran Church Sunday
10:00 AM Worship Service “I am the vine, you are the branches. Some have been members for many years. On May 24, 1908 the church building located at 118 N.

Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit because apart from me you can do nothing.” John 15:5
As members of this family of faith called Concordia Evangelical Lutheran Church we have been blessed with solid roots --- for we are rooted in the Gospel! This congregation, which is a member of the body of Christ on earth, has been blessed with an abundance of compassionate and caring members

since its inception in 1905. They are like the dependable branches which have long been attached to the vine. Others have been members for a matter of months; they are like the new branches that spring forth with new life. The congregation has long been nurtured by “transplants” brought to us through their military ties to Fort Drum. Both the old and the new are sustained by the life that comes from the vine: Jesus Christ. We are watered through the Sacrament of Holy Baptism and nourished through Word and the Sacrament of Holy Communion. Concordia Evangelical Lutheran Church was officially organized on September 5, 1906. For two years, services were held in the Odd Fellows assembly room of the old Herald Building. Massey Street was dedicated. The cost of the church building and its furnishings was $14,500. Construction of our present building began in 1970 with dedication services held on September 26, 1971. We are part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Originally Concordia was part of the New York Synod of the Lutheran Church in America, the successor of the Ministerium of New York, which is the 2nd oldest Lutheran body in the western hemisphere (October 23, 1786). Concordia has been blessed with a tradition of faithful pastors who have “bloomed” while planted here:

The Rev. Yost Brandt 1905-1914
The Rev. Paul Kasten 1914-1920
The Rev. Frederick K. Vogt 1921-1960
The Rev. John N. Campbell 1961-1986
The Rev. David L. Windle 1986-1992
The Rev. Paul D. Luisi 1992-present

So let’s really get into the season, forgive and make-up with family, friends, leaders, co-workers, etc..

Forgiveness, it is what he died for, for all of our sakes. Can we do no less?

This year, let’s follow Jesus’ example and pray and forgive.

Happy Good Friday!

Well, the Lenten season is almost over, today being Good Friday and Sunday being Easter.

Did you do anything special? Some people will give up eating certain foods or drinks. Did you do something like that? Instead of giving up something, maybe you did something? Did you volunteer in your neighborhood or town?

Perhaps you did something closer to home, more in the spirit of the season and forgave someone. I think Jesus would like that, don’t you? It’s not too late, let’s forgive those who have sinned against us, and remember their sins, no more.

God Bless You.
