Upcoming Events
Wisdom Way Contemplative Practice
July 17, 2026
Come nurture your spirit in this time of contemplative practice. For those who may be coming for the first time, our format is to begin with a 20-minute contemplative silence and then move into another 20 minutes of silence. People can do meditative walking, journaling, sitting…whatever is most renewing for each individual. We then gather to have a mindful conversation around a chosen topic.
We gather on the
4th Friday of each month, from 10-11:30.
For more information, please contact Emily Geoghegan at (693-491-5008). All are welcome.
South Church Knitters
The SC Knitters will meet at the church on July 21 from 3:00–5:00 p.m. Bring your yarn and knitting needles or crochet hook. We hope to see you there! All skill levels are welcome. Come enjoy good company, creativity, and conversation.
Special Fundraising
Book, Media, Craft and Bake Sale
Book and Media, Craft and Bake Sale and all the ways you can help.
A team of ambitious coordinators are already working to get ready for this fundraiser on September 19 from 8am to 3pm in Fellowship Hall. We intend to attract the wider community to this event and see our church community in action! To make it a smashing success, consider how each of you can support one of these initiatives underway.
1. Contribute donations to sell at this community-wide event
-
Clean out your bookshelves, closets and cupboards and bring your books (all except textbooks accepted), DVDs, VHS and LP records (in good shape) to the church office where Dave and Ellen Fries and Diane Zeller Norris will be sorting the donations throughout the summer.
-
Calling all crafters (and wannabes). Join craft sessions at church from 10-12 noon on July 23, July 30 and August 6 to create book-related crafts. Each session will be a unique project so come to one session- or all as you have time. For level of crafting ability think Elementary school, pasting, folding and cutting so this is accessible for everyone. We hope to have more dates in August so stay tuned. Please let Betsy Clardy know if you are interested and she’ll be sure to text you specific details.
-
Calling all bakers
What would you like to make for the bake sale? During the morning hours of the sale, there will be a cafe with coffee and pastry type food for shoppers to enjoy while they shop as well as a "to go" table of goods people can bring home. Edie Dimick and Lorraine Fournier are co-coordinating the bake sale so if one of them contacts you to make a baked good, please say yes - or contact them to offer your favorite goodie.
-
Other items we need for this event- please bring to the church office:
-
grocery paper bags or bags with handles. The Hannaford To-Go bags are the perfect size for a "bag of books for $5" discount sale from 1-3 pm.
-
H-shaped wire lawn sign holders. We need it for the signs we are printing.
-
small boxes with folded tops for the book sorters - the liquor store boxes are ideal size
-
2. Help us invite the community to this event!
We hope this event will reach the wider Concord area community so to be successful we need advertising helpers to put up flyers or host a lawn sign during August and up until the sale on September 19. Let Ann Walls know if you can do either.
Spread the word to your friends and neighbors. Tell your book group members and family bookworms! (and ask them if they'd like to donate books to the sale)
If you have other ideas on how to advertise this sale, let Ann know.
