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 a
special STAR
WARS 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. And, of course, there will be
a special STAR
WARS
procession at the end of worship, so feel free to wear a costume!

Lasting
drought has taken a toll on our Memorial Garden plants. We
currently need to replace one rhododendron and two azaleas. If
you have a loved one's remains in the Memorial Garden and would
like to contribute a plant in their honor, please contact Dottie
or Albert Lund. 302-230-1533 or 302-357-8318. We will purchase
the plants and install them, so no work involved.
A dedication will be placed in the bulletin and
Concord Connects if you wish.
