The seminary officially opened the 2012-2013 school year this morning, it began with a worship service in the chapel just as the promised rain began. Lizzie brought Christian and Connor and we all umbrella-ed over to the chapel.
Don't give boys something that moves.
Connor was easily entertained by having an umbrella
We got inside and ran into two men from the Immigrant theology program who enjoyed having their picture taken.
During the service 6 new staff members were installed.
There's Eric, this year's student body president, a position which makes him the crucifer for all worship services of a special nature.
The incoming class is a large one so the chapel was full.
At the conclusion most stay and talk outside the chapel.
Before we headed back to the house the boys had their picture taken with Opa.
And it's been raining off and on ever since, tomorrow's Field Day has been cancelled and the barbeque tomorrow night will be indoors. But we needed the rain and this has been a good rain. Beautiful service, lots of new students. Thankful for the blessing of Concordia Seminary.
