APPLE CROP DROP – Join us for our upcoming Apple Crop Drop on Friday, November 1, and Saturday, November 2! Gather your family and friends to help us bag apples for the community. We’ll kick things off at 5:15 PM on Friday, after the apples arrive at 5 PM. Please bring your flashlights or headlamps, as extra lighting will be useful even with the parking lot lights on. This time, we’re also trying out a new idea: if you have a luggage scale, please bring it along to help weigh the bags! We'll start again on Saturday at 8:30 AM. We can’t wait to see you there!
FALL FUN WITH YOUR CHURCH FAMILY - Be sure to join us at Harvest Camp for all the fun of making apple butter in the hills of Virginia Wednesday, November 6– Sunday, November 10! This is Mission's major fund raiser to help finance all our mission projects and we can use all the help we can get! Join us for the whole event or just the weekend. Individuals, couples or families are welcome! Click here for more info and to register by October 27!
HELP NEEDED - Missions will soon be selling their freshly made apple butter and applesauce! Be sure to get yours at the Craft Fair on Saturday, November 16 from 9AM to 2PM or at the Shoppes of Concord on Sunday, November 17, between 9:30 and 12:30. We really need folks to work at both the Craft Fair and Shoppes with set up and selling items and also to bring baked goods for us to sell. Please go to concordunited.org/events to sign up to work and email missions at missions@concordunited.org and let us know what you’re planning to bake and bring.
