From the April 20, 1972 edition of The Wayne Herald:
Concord Church Undergoes Complete Facelifting Job
Remodeling on the Concordia Lutheran Church at Concord began this week with the removal of the old pews and the painting of the sanctuary.
The project was approved in a special congregational meeting held Feb. 27. It will consist of painting and carpeting the sanctuary as well as the installation of new padded pews.
The painting contract was awarded to Finley's of Laurel, the carpeting to King's Carpet of Wayne. The pews have been purchased from the Stoddard Church Furnishing House of Beatrice.
Sunday worship services are presently being held at the Concord school auditorium.
Primary department Sunday school classes continue to be held in the church basement. Other classes have been temporarily shifted to the school auditorium and the parsonage.
