February's Collection: Items for Seminary Co-op

Our seminarians, deaconess students, and their families at Concordia Theological Seminary in Ft. Wayne (CTSFW) make many sacrifices while pursuing pastoral or deaconess ministry. So, congregations like Cornerstone help with their basic needs. This month, donations will go to this co-op.Our seminarians, deaconess students, and their families at Concordia Theological Seminary in Ft.
