HELP PROVIDE A FOOD BUCKET - Concord will once again be participating in the Holston Conference Hands-on Mission Project and provide food buckets to the Zimbabwe Ishe Anesu Project for Underprivileged Children. Our goal is to put together 50 buckets.
If you would like to help fund this project, we would greatly appreciate it. You can "purchase" a bucket for $50 or half a bucket for $25. This will pay for the food (canned chicken, sugar, flour, rice, dried beans, dry milk, vegetable oil and green tea bags), bucket, lid, and shipping. You can give online or with a check. Click here to donate.

Children’s programming and childcare are available during this time. Sundays from 10:00-10:50 in the Fellowship Hall we will study the character of God through our “Surprised by God” study. If you are looking for a group to connect with, check out one of these options. For more information, check out ConcordUnited.org/events or contact Pastor Brooke at bhartman@concordunited.org.
MEN'S GROUP GATHERINGS FOR MAY - Men of all ages, join us for a place to connect, learn about God and discuss issues confronting men.

WRITE A SUMMER DEVOTIONAL - For our "Surprised by God" devotionals this summer, writers choose a scripture based on weekly topic about the character of God.

CHILDREN
Come learn about Jesus healing a man's hand. One Sabbath day, Jesus sees a man with a deformed hand. He boldly calls the man up in front of everyone to heal him, even though the religious leaders consider healing “work”—forbidden on the Sabbath. Jesus boldly defends his actions as he heals the man (Mark 3:1-6).
