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!
