Concord’s New Pastor – Julia Burkley
Last Sunday, Julia received a unanimous vote of approval from Concord’s congregation. We are so thrilled! The plan is for Julia to start full-time with Concord the first full week of August. Meanwhile, we will keep her updated on church work and joys.
Many thanks to the Pastor Nominating Committee for 15 months of meetings, deliberations, reviews, and personal visits. Thanks also to Pastor Eric for his commitment to Concord which enabled the PNC to nominate an outstanding candidate.
Housing, Advocacy, & Concord
May 3, 18 & June 1
after worship in Jessie’s Room
Concord has helped souls who are facing homelessness for many years, through our ministry with Friendship House, Emmanuel Dining Room, and Sojourners Place. A shortage of safe, affordable housing is one of the biggest issues facing the U.S. Bigger and lasting improvements require changes in governmental policies. Concord has organized a series of Lunch & Learn sessions for youth and adults on Housing and Advocacy. This series supports Day for Housing 2025 | HAD Site in Dover Thursday, May 22 to advocate for solutions to the housing crisis, organized by Housing Alliance Delaware.
