                                                          The Transfiguration of Christ by Earl Mott

Transfiguration Sunday, March 2 @ 10:00am

Communion*, Deacons' Fund
"Exodus" - Luke 9:28-43
Pastor Eric Markman preaching

     Gospel Music Sunday’s service was stunning, and I want to thank the choir, the soloists, the musicians, the choir director, the congregation (for powerful participation and singing), the participants in the dialogue sermon, and our young people for organizing the Soup & Chili Cook-off and Chocolate Challenge. What a Sunday, and we had lots of visitors!
     Well this Sunday will also be a amazing as we get ready to enter into the season of Lent - Transfiguration Sunday! We will go up on the mountain top where we will meet Jesus with Moses and Elijah. We will hear the question “Who is this Jesus?” answered in the glory of the moment. And then we will begin the journey with Jesus toward Jerusalem as the disciples and Jesus come down the mountain top to the valley below into everyday life. Join us for another Sunday of joy, hope, challenge, and meaning as we once again join together to worship!

     Join us for IN-PERSON WORSHIP on Sunday at 10:00am; doors open at 9:40am. 

     To join in WORSHIP ONLINE this Sunday, March 2, click on the picture above to go to our Concord website. Near the bottom of the home page, click on the same picture to connect with the worship video. The worship service will be available live at 10:30am Sunday morning or later in the day to view at your convenience.

*This Sunday we will celebrate the Lord's Supper as part of the service.

FRIENDSHIP HOUSE TOILET PAPER DRIVE
At its many sites, Friendship House goes through a LOT of toilet paper. Concord is holding a toilet paper drive for them during the month of March. Please bring whatever you are able to donate and put it on the right side of the narthex as you enter. We hope to build a huge “snowman” there. At the end of March, we will deliver it to Friendship House. 
Thank you!
