FIFTH SUNDAY IN LENT -
APRIL 6 @ 10:00am
Communion*, Deacons' Fund offering
"Choices" - Pastor Eric Markman preaching

     We are coming close to the final days of Jesus’ journey to Jerusalem. This Sunday we hear about a dinner that Jesus and his disciples enjoyed at the home of Lazarus, Martha, and Mary just 6 days before the Passover meal. Mary anoints Jesus with a very fragrant and costly oil and wipes his feet with her hair. Judas complains that it was a waste of money. And Jesus says Mary has prepared him for his death. Powerful words and powerful actions. Perhaps the passage is asking us what choices do we make everyday? Come and enjoy worship as we prepare for Palm Sunday and Easter!
     Join us for IN-PERSON WORSHIP on Sunday at 10:00am; doors open at 9:40am. 

     To join in WORSHIP ONLINE this Sunday, April 6, 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 10:00am 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.
If joining us online, please have something ready for eating and something ready for drinking.

 

 

Children & Youth in Worship - Communion Sunday
 


This week is a Communion Sunday, so we will not be meeting for J.A.M. or Sunday Seekers. Children are invited to come forward for Wondering Time. After Wondering Time, children will stay in worship with their families and take part in communion after the sermon. There are quiet activities in the back of the Sanctuary that children may take to the pews.

“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.

 

 

Typically received during the season of Lent, each gift to One Great Hour of Sharing supports efforts to relieve hunger through the Presbyterian Hunger Program, promote development through the Presbyterian Committee on the Self-Development of People, and assist in areas of disaster through Presbyterian Disaster Assistance. All three programs work in different ways to serve individuals and communities in need. From initial disaster response to ongoing community development, their work fits together to provide people with safety, sustenance, and hope.

The One Great Hour of Sharing offering will be received through Easter Sunday. Envelopes are available in the pews or donate online. When we all do a little, it adds up to a lot!

 

 

ALL are invited to participate in the Fairfax Egg Hunt
Saturday, April 12 at 10:30am
in the South Park, adjacent to Concord Church
