Potluck – Summer is upon us with longer daylight hours and warmer temperatures.  Crops that were planted in the Spring are starting to produce their offerings. Now that we are worshiping at an earlier time, let's celebrate God's bounty in the form of breakfast items at our next potluck on July 12th after service.  At least 6 casseroles will be needed.  You can either warm them up or cook them in the ovens during service.  Bagels, cream cheese, orange juice and fruit will also be on the menu.  A sign up sheet will be sent around for you to make your selections.

Handmade Prayers (Prayer Shawl Ministry) meets the 2nd Wednesday of each month at 10 AM in Mueller Library (July 8, 2026). We welcome everyone. This is a working meeting so please bring your yarn projects with you. If you know someone that is in need of a gift from us, please let us know. 

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.

EMMANUEL DINING ROOM

Psalm 118:26 reads “Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.”

 And James, Jesus half-brother writes “that faith without action is no faith at all.”

In a recent devotion, the question was asked, “Are you a living testament to the power of Jesus’ resurrection? Can people look at you and tell that Someone from above is working in your heart?”

 On Saturday, June 27th, Concordia Lutheran Church and Preschool once again had the privilege of serving at the Emmanuel Dining Room.

The 163 hungry folks who dined that rainy day know who prepared their meal.  They know Jesus is working in the heart of each cook, baker and server.  Thanks to all those cooks, bakers, and to Nettie and Olivia Wyckoff and Olivia’s friend-Natalie Maston-for serving.

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

 Blessings,    George and Dale
 

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 .
