We are also accepting donations of bed sheets / pillow cases (especially) and spray paint for backdrops, camping gear (including tents, camp chairs, canopies, rafts/tubes, cooking gear, lanterns, etc.)
If you have items to donate, please bring it by the church office by tomorrow, June 3, or contact René Prager at r.prager@firstpresconcord.org

A Great End to the Story!
Brownie Troop 323 and Junior Troop 3142 wrote the last chapters of their leadership journeys last week. As part of their take action project, the Brownies collected 104 books to help a local school start a new library. The Juniors wrote a comic strip tale about breaking stereotypes. They are now ready to begin work on their Bronze Award.
