Playground Fun – Please join us EVERY Sunday after service (weather permitting) at the playground. Children should be accompanied by an adult. This gives us another fellowship experience as the adults chit chat and the children enjoy the playground equipment.  

+EDUCATION+

Leave everything to follow Jesus?  Really?

How about sacrificing worldly things to follow Jesus and His Word??  Perhaps we need to give up whatever prevents us from attending church and receiving Holy Communion. 

Perhaps it means giving up relationships that would lead us away from living how God wants us to live. 

+SERVICE+

EMMANUEL DINING ROOM 

Faithful Servants, 

First, a few words of thanks for once again filling our freezer with your casseroles and brownies for the good people at Emmanuel Dining Room.   

I spoke with the folks at EDR this morning and was told not to come tomorrow (the 27th is our day) due to the heavy snow and “nothing plowed, nothing shoveled, and no parking available.”  
So, our casseroles and brownies remain in the freezer for Friday, February 27th.  We have all we will need for that date. 

Thank you again for serving Christ by serving the needy people of Wilmington.

“Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and He will reward them for what they have done.”  Proverbs 19:17

Blessings, George and Dale

We sort and pack donations for people in need on Wednesdays 10:00am – 2:30pm and Saturdays 9am –1:30pm at the former Dansko warehouse: 8 Federal Rd, West Grove, PA, 19390. Please consider joining us, we welcome teens through adults! 

Read all about OGT on the bulletin board by the library or visit our webpage for the full list of items our recipients need most, current hours of operation, and the latest updates. You may also click ORPHAN GRAIN TRAIN under the Concordia SERVICE tab for current news. Donated items should be placed in the All Saints' Hall closet (to the right as you enter the room). 

Our most immediate need is for a new warehouse location as our lease expires in fall 2026! We prefer a southeastern Chester County location, or other safe neighborhood near the PA–DE state line, with 6,000 to 10,000 sq ft, a loading dock and parking for at least a dozen cars. If you have any information, please contact OGT volunteers Tom Fuesler or Carla Niesen.  

Meals on Wheels - Serving our community meals during the last full week of each month (February 23-27, 2026). The time commitment is usually 1 1/2 hrs. (11:00 AM - 12:30 PM). Please contact Susan Fuesler or email the office at info@concordiade.com. Meals are picked up at Silverside Church with directions for delivery route. Please consider volunteering; you will bless others and be greatly blessed as well!  

Time. Talent. Treasure.

Maybe your TALENT is the 'gift of gab' or writing notes Many among Concordia could be so uplifted by a call or a card!

Offerings – Please help the counters: by writing your name on your envelope or attaching an address label. 

Let us thank Jesus that He continues to provide for us! Please consider giving your offerings through your bank or your credit card. Questions related to financial giving can be addressed to  financialsec@concordiade.com .
