Scripture tells us:‌

(ESV) but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

That means you don’t have to get it all figured out before you come.

You come and we figure it out together.

Whatever season you are in, we know the struggles of this sinful world…but we also know that our God is bigger than our circumstances.

guest connection:

Keep it upbeat— Also, for our Guests we want to connect with you!

With that said, I hope you received a program this morning you’ll notice in that program there’s more info about who we are and what we offer as a church.

There you will find information about various ministries for the whole family.

Also inside the program, along with the insert, there is a connect envelope.

Later on in our service we will worship through a time of offering together.

During this offering time we will give all of you a moment to fill out the connect envelopes (and they also serve as a place you can give any money or financial gift that you would offer to the Lord).

During that time you will have an opportunity to connect and give and it’s really simple.

Joe, our lead pastor will walk you through the steps.We desire to connect with you and help you get plugged in.

covenant connection:

Now Covenant Members, if you will grab the insert inside your program and take it out, it is promoting some awesome things that we want to highlight so please take a look at that and see how you can get plugged in the various ministry opportunities we have.

Scripture Reading || Covenant Member || Stephanee Brantley

says:

Good morning church, and guests.

Welcome to Concord.

My name is, Stephanee Brantley.

I serve Concord alongside my husband, Joe, as we seek God’s will, to faithfully serve Him and to lead His church here at Concord.

Concord has played a major part in our Spiritual journey for the past 12 years (with a two year hiatus at the beach—God was in that too).

Our children grew up in this church as Joe and I did too.

The truth is, we are all still growing.

I never saw myself as a pastor’s wife and I certainly never expected Joe to become a pastor.

But God’s patience, steadfast love.

and radical grace is abounding as it is overwhelming.

God has literally used this church, his people, this body of believers, you, who faithfully link arms with us, to grow and continue to shine a light in this community proclaiming that promises of this world are hurtful and shameful lies, but the promises of God are completely and absolutely true.

My family and I are extremely excited to share the good news of Jesus and how at Concord our vision and mission make Him known in this community.

This is our Mission here at Concord:

We exist to connect people through loving community as we introduce them to Jesus and help them follow Him.

This morning I have the honor of sharing God’s Word with you.

Only mention the first verse so people won’t read ahead
