The Lord said to Moses, Say to the whole community of the Israelites: You must be holy, because I, the Lord your God, am holy. […] You must not take revenge nor hold a grudge against any of your people; instead, you must love your neighbor as yourself; I am the Lord.  (Leviticus 19:1-2, 18)
 
Lord, teach me what your statutes are about, and I will guard every part of them.  Help me understand so I can guard your Instruction and keep it with all my heart.  Lead me on the trail of your commandments because that is what I want.  Turn my heart to your laws, not to greedy gain.  (Psalm 119:33-36)
 
“You have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. But I say to you that you must not oppose those who want to hurt you. […] Give to those who ask, and don’t refuse those who wish to borrow from you.  “You have heard that it was said, You must love your neighbor and hate your enemy.  But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who harass you so that you will be acting as children of your Father who is in heaven. […] Therefore, just as your heavenly Father is complete in showing love to everyone, so also you must be complete. (Matthew 5:38-39, 42-45a, 48)

    First and foremost we are a serving church - throughout nearly three centuries we have been serving the people of Concord and the world.

    We are a welcoming church -- welcoming children, youth, and adults, seekers and settled, doubtful and faithful, and creating a community united in Christ's love for us all.

    We are 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!
