Concordia University Portland choirs, led by Professor Kurt Berentson, recently returned from a tour of Eastern Central Europe to share music, fellowship and faith with people of other cultures. Students earned university credit for this travel experience and the many informative lectures from tour guides with extensive knowledge of history, culture, architecture, and religion. In Creuzberg, Germany, their concert helped raise funds for church restoration. Another memorable experience was the impromptu concert at Stephen’s in Vienna after the noon mass -- many worshippers remained to listen, joined by a stream of sightseers and, after many rounds of hearty applause, people came up to express their appreciation. Other highlights included singing in the famous Salt Mine chapel, as well as at Sts Peter and Paul in Wisla for Poland's largest non-Catholic congregation. P.S. The last photo was taken in the location where Sound of Music's "Do Re Mi" was filmed.

Here's how Alexa Edwards, one of our elementary ed students, is spending part of her summer in her own words:
"I will be going to the NOE Center in Morelia, Michoacán. NOE stands for “New Opportunities in Education,” and is a community center that serves the youth and adults around Morelia, providing sports, activities, and clubs for all ages to be involved in. During my time there, I will be teaching English classes along with assisting with some of the other activities and programs provided for students. I will also be living with a host family and will really be able to solidify my Spanish language skills.
As I am majoring in Elementary Education, my time in Mexico will not only provide me with cross-cultural relationships and classroom experience, but it will allow me to pursue my passion for teaching and to see how I can use my degree for the possibility of missions in the future!"
