The Village Lutheran Church celebrated a Confirmation Reunion on Sunday, October 15.

The Senior Pastor, Rev. Dr. Robert Hartwell described the event: “Over the years hundreds of children and adults have confirmed the faith given them in their baptisms and we thought it would be very special to invite back as many as possible to mark our 90th anniversary.”

During the service the Confirmands were asked to stand as a special blessing was shared. The Confirmands also received a limited edition anniversary pin. Included in the over 150 worshippers was the Pastor Emeritus of the Village Lutheran Church, the Rev. Dr. James C. Zwernemann (who presided at many confirmation services in his almost thirty years of service to the church), along with his wife, Bonnie (McGinnis) Zwernemann who is a daughter of the church and a Confirmation alumni.

A highlight of the service was the singing of the Concordia Chorale, Concordia College-New York’s touring choir who sang several arrangements for the festive service and during the Eucharist. According to Deborah Reiss, the choir’s conductor, “We were happy to share in the Village Lutheran Church’s big day. Expressing faith through music is a big part of our mission as Concordia’s tour choir.”

In 2007, the church will continue to mark her 90th year as a congregation with a Baptismal reunion on  Sunday, April 22 at 10:45 AM  and a Wedding Reunion for couples married at the church on Sunday, May 6, 2007 at 10:45 AM

The Village Lutheran Church is located across the street from Concordia College on state road 22 and was chartered in 1916 (as Concordia Lutheran Church). The church operates the Chapel School, Preschool through Grade 8, that boasts the first Nursery School Program in Westchester County. The church is celebrating her 90th anniversary in 2006 and the school her 60th in 2007.
