Community Care Nights

Join us Wednesday nights during Lent as we find community and care. Free meal from 5:30-6:30, worship from 6:30-7:00, and groups 7:00. Children and youth activities as well.

We kick off Lent on Wednesday night with our 6:30 Ash Wednesday service. The following Wednesdays in Lent we will find our place at the foot of the cross as we hear Jesus speak, "Words from the Cross".

SERMON SERIES

The Gospel of Luke seeks to present Jesus’ life in an orderly manner designed to help us understand his heart, his mind, and his mission. From Luke’s account, we discover Jesus’ great concerned for the physically impoverished, relationally impoverished, and spiritually impoverished. Only by recognizing our own spiritual impoverishment and our desperate need for Christ can we learn to love the physically impoverished and relationally impoverished people of our world as Christ has loved us.

BIBLE STUDY BOOK & GROUPS

Bible Study Book & Groups

On a Sunday morning you can expect to be welcomed warmly by our staff and volunteers. We engage in dynamic worship to honor Jesus, and then open up the bible to be taught strongly from the Word. We encourage you to come with a heart of expectancy that God will move mightily in your life!

As long you are come through our doors, we want to make sure you feel loved and welcomed. If you ever need anything, always feel free to connect with us. We love to hear from our new visitors.

FASTING

Fasting Info

As we journey from Ash Wednesday to the cross and the empty tomb, we encourage fasting. Just as Welsey instilled in the first Methodists, we invited you to fast on Fridays, February 16, February 23, March 1, March 8, March 15, March 22, and March 29. It is Christian tradition to fast on Friday as it represents the day Jesus was crucified and sacrificed for us.

We recommended one of the three options for fasting weekly during Lent:

· Fridays from 9am-3pm (The hours of the crucifixion)

· Fridays until 3pm

· Fridays until Sundown.

As mentioned, fasting means abstaining. Abstaining from food is one method of fasting. We can also fast from other items, such as screens and social media.

Maundy Thursday (Holy Thursday)

Thursday, March 28 | 7PM | Sanctuary

Also, available online at ConcordUnited.org or Youtube.com/ConcordUnited.

Join us on Thursday, March 28 for a very special Holy Week service of Maundy Thursday. This will be a service that remembers and reflects upon Jesus’ last supper with his disciples before his death. The story will be retold through music, scripture, and the observance of Holy Communion. The service will be at 7:00 p.m. in the sanctuary.

Good Friday

Friday, March 29 | 7PM | Worship Center

Also, available online at ConcordUnited.org or Youtube.com/ConcordUnited.

Good Friday is a service of worship that offers both scripture and meditation, reflecting on Jesus’s last hours on earth. The format of this service of Tenebrae, or “Darkness,” is based on a twelfth-century late night/early morning service and is an extended meditation on the passion of Christ.

Good Friday is not meant to leave you feeling happy. It was a very heavy time. It is hard to imagine what Jesus must have gone through, but he knew what was coming. The celebration of Easter and the resurrection are the most joyous after you have experienced Maundy Thursday and Good Friday.
