This includes items such as books and uniforms. Thank you in advance for your help.
BUY YOUR TICKETS FOR JUNE 6 PICNIC
The all-school reunion being held on June 6 as part of the "With Hearts United" weekend is designed not only for former students, but also for current students, families, and supporters of LHS/CA-Bloomington. The event opens at 11:00 a.m., and a picnic lunch, catered by Divine Swine, will be served starting at noon. The afternoon will be a great chance to connect with old friends, look through Lancer memorabilia, share memories, and praise God for 45 years of ministry in the Twin Cities. There is no charge for the event, but picnic tickets cost $10 each. Picnic reservations are still being accepted by clicking here (or go to www.concordiaacademy.com, click on "Bloomington," and look for the June 6 & 7 banner). You can even pay for your tickets online!
BE A PART OF THE ALUMNI AND FRIENDS BAND AND CHOIR AT JUNE 7 SERVICE
Dr. Paul Schilf, former LHS band director, will be directing an alumni and friends band and choir that will be a part of the "With Hearts United" worship service on June 7 at 3:00 p.m. Former students, parents, and friends of the school are all invited to be a part of these groups. The choir will rehearse at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 6, followed by the band at 4:00. If you are interested in being a part of either group, click here (or go to www.concordiaacademy.com, click on "Bloomington," and look for the June 6 & 7 banner). The service, with Rev. Dean Nadasdy as preacher and Rev. Mark Johnson as liturgist, promises to be a meaningful, Spirit-filled conclusion to the ministry of LHS/CA-Bloomington.
SHARE YOUR LANCER MEMORIBILIA AND VIDEOS
Do have any Lancer Memorabilia that others might enjoy seeing? What about videos or DVDs of old sporting events, concerts, theatre productions, or other Lancer events? If you do have any of these items and would be willing to loan them out for the "With Hearts United" All-School Reunion, we'd love to hear from you. Send an email to lancers@concordiaacademy.com and let us know!

LAST CHANCE FOR YEARBOOK STUDENT SALUTE ADS

AN INVITATION FROM MT. HOPE-REDEMPTION
After 53 years of service to families that desired a Christian education for their children, Mt. Hope and Redemption Lutheran churches will close their parochial school. Over these years, many students have passed through the school doors, learning about so many subjects—none as important as the message of Christ’s love for us, His children. We plan to have a service of celebration for the blessing that MHR has been to so many families for over half of a century. God has used MHR as a means to change lives and strengthen faiths. Mt. Hope and Redemption congregations cordially invite you to attend a service of praise, as our final graduating class is honored, and as we recognize with joy the many lives that have been touched by the ministry of Mt. Hope-Redemption Lutheran School. The service will be held on Thursday, June 4, beginning at 6:30 p.m. in Redemption's gymnasium.
