The New Church of Concord would love to have you join us at any of our holiday services.
Thanksgiving Service - the congregation is invited to bring an offering of fruit as a token of thanks. After the opening of the Word, during the second hymn, the people come forward by the center aisle to present fruit to the minister and then return to the pew by the side aisles. A regular service is then given. After the service the food offering is taken to a local charity.
