Christmas Homecoming
at Concord United

December 5, 9 AM - Noon
Join us for a fun safe socially distanced celebration at Concord United! Our Christmas Homecoming event has something for all ages and we can't wait to celebrate with you.

This year Santa will be in a beautiful sleigh and you will be given an opportunity to stand in front of the sleigh for your annual Santa Picture. Also, there will be a mailbox to drop off your Santa letters. While you are here, be sure and stop by one of the stations to get Reindeer Food, Drop off Toys for Morgan Scott and your Holiday Food donations for the Pantry, Pick up the Holiday Kid's Packet, Kid's Craft, UMW Pre-Ordered Christmas Tree, and if you are planning on attending one of our Christmas Eve services online, be sure and pick up your candle and communion supplies.

Also you will have an opportunity to purchase Concord's Apple Butter, 2021 Calendars, Pecans and Mission Shirts.
 
The event is free, but you will need to reserve a time for your Santa Pictures online at ConcordUnited.org/Christmas. Masks required.
