EMMANUEL DINING ROOM

Trusted Servants,
 

“Let your light so shine before men that they may…glorify your Father in Heaven.” Matthew 5:16
 On Monday, July 27th, we will once again have the privilege of feeding many hungry men, women, and children at The Emmanuel Dining Room.  In May, we served 204 hungry people.  And in June, in a driving rain storm, we served 163.  With those numbers, you can see the great need for our casseroles.  And with our EDR partner, the Preschool, closed for the summer, we need your brownies now too. 

Thanks in advance for letting your light continue to shine at EDR as we cook, bake, and serve-all in the name of Jesus.  If able, please have your casseroles and brownies in the freezer by Friday, July 24th.   Blessings to all,    George and Dale

Don’t forget, you may be the only Bible that some people will ever read. 

Orphan Grain Train – 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.  

Time. Talent. Treasure.

What's your talent? ask your Concordia neighbor; I am certain they will help you find it.

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 .
