Serving Welcoming Growing in Christ
First Congregational Church, United Church of Christ
First of all, a serving church – throughout nearly three centuries, serving the people of Concord and the world
And a welcoming church -- welcoming children, youth, and adults, seekers and settled, doubtful and faithful, and creating a community bounded only by Christ’s love for us all
And a church growing in Christ – not having all the answers, but growing in faith, in love, in working for a just and peaceful world, people learning the way of Jesus together, and welcoming others to learn with us.
Come and see!

The Greater Concord area CROP Walk is coming on Saturday, September 25. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in the host church this year. Registration begins at noon, and the walk begins at 1:00 PM.
CROP raises funds for disaster relief and hunger fighting locally and all around the world. If you’ve been reading our newsletter, you know of the extraordinary increase in the use of our food pantry this year. We know that every food pantry in the Concord area is experiencing the same increase in requests for food. Twenty five percent of CROP funds raised in our walk come back here and benefit about a dozen food pantries or soup kitchens in our area.
Beyond the local need, this has been a year of unprecedented disasters which have stretched the resources of every relief agency on the planet. It began with the devastating earthquake in Haiti. In the summer, flooding in the American Midwest affected dozens of communities. Currently, flooding in Pakistan is uprooting hundreds of thousands of people and destroying crops that were their livelihood. Church World Service has responded to each of these disasters and to other less well known situations, even as it quietly supports local efforts in literally hundreds of locations around the world to promote sustainable agriculture, provide clean water, and address pressing public health needs.
First Church has decided not to issue a special appeal in response to the flooding in Pakistan. Rather, we are asking those associated with our church to get involved in the CROP walk, either as walkers or as sponsors. We are already recruiting walkers, and those walkers are looking for sponsors.
Sign up after worship with Tim Wildman, our recruitment coordinator, or call the office to communicate your support, or check us out online at www.cropwalkonline.org – our team is ‘Feat of First.” Make checks out to “CWS/CROP.”
