FOURTH SUNDAY IN LENT -
MARCH 30 @ 10:00am
"Complications" - Pastor Eric Markman preaching
This Sunday we will
be hearing the story of the prodigal son. Of course there were
others who are part of this story as well. We will look at the
father who sent him off and welcomed him back. The older brother,
who was always there for the father and who wasn’t invited to the
party. What is this passage about? Is it about a God who loves us
so much that we are always welcome to come back? Is it about a
young man trying to find himself? Is it about an older brother who
had to live in the shadows? Is it about a father who didn’t pay
attention to his two sons? Come and wonder with us as we wrestle
with the Word of God!
Join us for
IN-PERSON WORSHIP on Sunday at 10:00am; doors open at 9:40am.

“On the
Road with Jesus!” Lent - 2025
Dear Members and Friends,
Here is the Lenten series: “On the Road with Jesus.” To fully enjoy it you should find each
scripture lesson in the Bible, read it, and then read the short
commentary for that week. After the commentary there is a prayer.
After the prayer there is a link to a piece of music that
reflects that scripture for that week. Please enjoy this series,
and I hope it helps you on your journey with Jesus during
Lent.
Peace,
Pastor Eric

Safety
Committee

Concord Presbyterian
Church and Preschool have emphasized safety for many, many
years. To stay safe, we have formed a Safety Committee with
representations from various church functions, led by Safety
Officer John Barineau. We can use volunteers, especially those
with prior safety experience, to participate in walk-around
safety inspections and ~quarterly Zoom safety committee sessions.
If interested, please
contact John Barineau at
barinejm@yahoo.com or (302) 545-1125.

From Mission &
Congregational Life Committee
Below is a letter from
Karla Koll, the PC(USA) Mission Co-Worker who we have helped to
support and encourage for many years through Presbyterian World
Mission. I thought you might be interested to hear from her, so am
sharing her message.
As she says, PC(USA) World Mission is no more
and has been replaced by a more ecumenical mission effort. You can
read the latest about this change here: pcusa.org/news-storytelling/news/2025/3/17/world-mission-leader-addresses-questions-regarding-shift-global-ministry-approach
We would like to see some international mission
continue for Concord and that is now being done through, most
recently, the Guatemala mission project. Although we are not
supporting a mission co-worker now, we are continuing to reach out
through the faith to communities and people in need, in
coordination with the Presbytery.

Johnson, co-chairs
