New American walkers brave the elements with Christa Earl
Visiting the snack table
On the morning of Saturday, May 14, a brisk and windy day greeted our walkers for CFNA’s 2nd Annual Walk-a-Thon. The event was held on the beautiful campus of Concordia Seminary, and our thanks to the seminary leadership for allowing us to walk through their well cared for grounds. Dr. Dan Mattson welcomed us on behalf of Concordia Seminary President, Dr. Dale Meyer.
It was great to have some of our New American friends join in the fun! Of the approximately 90 participants, close to 25 New American children were present. Gerald Brewah, Teddy Workeneh, Stanish Stanley, and Christa Earl helped bring the students, with the assistance of the Webster Gardens van and driver, Dave Herd. Two siblings, one who attends Lutheran High South, came and helped direct traffic! Thank you to Karina and Spencer Ferguson.
We appreciated all of the volunteers and participants who helped make this chilly day another successful CFNA “friending” and funding event!
