How does a St. Louis tradition provide huge support to Lutheran education?
The Coffee Hour
As you grab your morning coffee (and pastry, let’s be honest), join hosts Andy Bates and Sarah Gulseth as they bring you stories of the intersection of Lutheran life and a secular world. Catch real-life stories of mercy work of the LCMS and partners, updates from missionaries across the ocean, and practical talk about how to live boldly Lutheran.
The Coffee Hour is underwritten by the Concordia University System. Learn more at cus.edu.
Show Time: Monday-Friday at 9:00 a.m. Central Time
