Religion Classes, Church Services Enrich Our Spiritual Life Religion classes are a unique part of Con- cordia ' s curriculum. Concordia was founded for the purpose of instructing Lutheran young people in the beliefs of their church. Some may complain that here we are overprotected and will not be ready for the cold, cruel world. It is true that we are protected, but protected like a young plant in a hot house until it is strong enough to face the elements alone. Freshmen at Concordia study the Old Testament. During the sophomore year, the New Testament is examined. Church history is taken up by the juniors while seniors are instructed in the doctrines of our church. By the time of graduation, it is the hope of Con- cordia that the student ' s faith has been strengthened through a fuller understanding of our Christian beliefs. Religion is an important part of life at Concordia here. Pa.stor A. Oldsen instructs a senior religion class. Besides formal religion classes Concordia held biweekly worship The Choir enriched our church services. Here it is shown singing at our closing service before Christmas vacation.
