Sharing God’s love in our community & the world…

Reverse Advent Calendar
The Mission & Congregational Life Committee invite you to take part in a Reverse Advent Calendar to benefit our community! Instead of receiving a daily gift as we count down the days to Christmas, we will give back daily by placing a non-perishable food item in a bag each day. Bring your items to church each Sunday in December and place them by the empty manger in the narthex. We will be sharing these gifts with the community by placing them in Concord’s Blessing Box.
Suggestions: SPAGHETTI SAUCE, dry pasta, canned tuna & chicken, cereal, PB&J, canned fruit & vegetables, canned soup, oatmeal packets, boxed mac & cheese, granola/protein bars. Smaller containers are best, as the box provides for short-term needs and space inside is limited. (No glass or expired items, please.)
Through the Christmas Joy Offering, we reflect God’s perfect gift to us with generous support of church leaders among us – past, present, and future – who have pointed us to God.
We honor and celebrate leaders like retired pastors, church workers and their families who have faithfully guided and led us but who now find themselves in critical financial need. We honor and celebrate emerging leaders like students in schools and colleges equipping communities of color, who develop leadership skills as they pursue their education and prepare to bring their gifts in service to the world God loves so much.
The Christmas Joy Offering will be received throughout the month of December. Envelopes are available in the pews or donations may be made online. Please give generously…for when we all do a little, it adds up to a lot!
