Please Help Us Get Caught Up
We are thankful for the sustained support of our pledging members.  Your financial commitment enable us to continue our ministries and enrich our faith community.  Our fiscal-year ends on June 30 2017, and as of February, we have received 94% of the pledges we would expect at this point in our year. 
Please help us increase this percentage before the end of the year!  If you have fallen behind on your pledge fulfillment for the current fiscal year (as many of us do from time to time), please "catch up:"  your steady pledge income allows us to better manage cash flow throughout the year.
If you have already pledged for the coming fiscal year, you will be receiving a reminder e-mail with our thanks.  If you have yet to make a pledge for the fiscal year 2017/18, you should have already received an invitation in the mail, and we look forward to hearing from you soon.  Please do not hesitate to contact Steve Murray or Rev. Jed if you have any questions or need any further information.  Again, many thanks!

Legacy Society profile: Mary Lynne Rahlson Mary Lynne Rahlson grew up in a congregational church in Winter Park, Florida. A move to Concord and a search for a church with a good music program, and activities for families and children brought her one Sunday to South Church. She said, "It felt like coming home." She was warmly welcomed and embraced the open and affirming process from the beginning. "It is important to me that 'all are welcome.'"  If you would like to read more about Mary Lynne and the Legacy Society, please click here.
