Students building C ommunity BY JACOB MOORE
Every day, Concordia Seminary students are planning and organizing events and activities to engage their peers and the campus community. We reached out to a handful of students to find out why fostering community and hospitality has become part of their lives while here on campus.
Nick Wagenknecht Intramurals
I participate in intramurals because it keeps me physically active and it is a great way to have friendly competition with my brothers and sisters in Christ. Participating in sports builds character, respect, honesty and hard work, and can bring out the best in all of us. Though it can get competitive at times, everyone comes together in prayer at the end knowing that we are all here for the same reason. The Lord has blessed us with our bodies and with the ability to show that friendly competition can bring everyone together. 16

Veterans Ministry We started the Student Ministry to the Armed Forces to provide veterans a way to find personal connections and to have an opportunity to share their experiences and stories. It is also a way to better support those who may be interested in becoming military chaplains by providing an opportunity for them to experience the stories and traditions that help to define the communities in which they may eventually serve.
