Greetings Concord UMC Family
The other day I was in line at the grocery store and found myself in an exciting conversation with an enthusiastic little girl who was proudly wearing her new school uniform.
As I listened to the little girl share about her school, I thought about how excited I used to be about going back to school.
Not only was I excited to get a new uniform, shoes and school supplies, but I would also look forward to what new things I would learn and what new friends I would make. Going back to school was awesome because I had so much to look forward to.

Our faith community has a lot to think about in this back to school season. What are some of the things that compell us to invite others to be our neighbors? Are we allowing the Holy Spirit to empower us to love boldly, serve joyfully and lead courageously?
What are some of the things that we need to get back to?
As we near the Fall season, remember these words found in Galations 6:9 – “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
Siblings in Christ, let us get “back to” the work that God has equipped us to do.
Blessings,
Pastor Marie
