Don't forget that Daylight savings time returns this weekend early on Sunday, March 14!

 Brownie Troop 323:

It was wonderful to spend Sunday afternoon with so many of you, as we enjoyed the Spring Spiritual Nurture event via Zoom. Elizabeth Richardson presented a lovely program, sharing a few of her childhood memories of First Presbyterian Church before taking us along, with vivid descriptions and vignettes, on her personal pilgrimages in New Mexico, Scotland, and Spain. She offered wonderful resources on centering prayer practices and other ways to draw closer to God.

A special thank you to Rev. Rush Otey and Jane Spainhour for their opening and closing prayers. Please join me in expressing our gratitude to Linda Barnett, Nancy Rotan, and Linda Wightman, for creating and executing this enriching opportunity. Fifty of us attended the Zoom program, including guests extending beyond our First Presbyterian family. If you missed the program and would enjoy a link to view the presentation, please let René Prager know (thepragers@yahoo.com).

Monday, March 15th, in Davis Hall from 2:30 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.

There will be a Zoom Congregational Meeting on Sunday, March 21, at noon, for the purpose of voting on the 2024 Class of Officers who have been selected by the Congregational Nominating Committee.

There will be a Zoom meeting to discuss the Book of Job on Sunday, March 28 at 7 p.m. An invitation to the Zoom meeting will be sent to the Congregation so anyone who wishes may attend. This will be the only live opportunity to discuss this book, not two as originally thought. Thank you.

If your Youth would like to take part in the restocking effort, please e-mail René Prager at r.prager@firstpresconcord.org for the sign-up link. All youth are invited to participate, regardless of whether or not you were able to attend the mission weekend event.

Congregation members are also invited to continue to participate in this on-going church mission. All are welcome to place items into the Blessing Box. Donations may also be left in the designated area in the Fellowship House foyer during office hours. If any groups within the congregation wish to sign-up to be caretakers of the box for a month, you can connect with Kate Morrison (kmorrison78@gmail.com) for a link to the sign-up. The months of August and December are currently open.

Photo highlights: A few of our high school Youth holding Thank You signs in appreciation of all who participated in our drive-up collection event on Saturday, February 27th. Our congregation members provided a steady stream of donations. The Youth visited the Blessing Box and assisted in restocking it during our event.

Please mark your calendars for Friday, April 2nd, 3:30 p.m. - 4:45 p.m., for the Stations of the Cross walk in Concord.

More information to follow. If you are interested in leading a reading during the procession, please contact René Prager (r.prager@firstpresconcord.org).
