Don't be afraid

"I will fear no evil" is what we should meditate on in this time of trial.

We're Taking Every Precaution

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the Concord-St. Andrews building will be closed from 3/15 to 3/29 to all groups. We will not hold worship services for three Sundays 3/15, 3/22, or 3/29. We are deeply sorry for any inconvenience this causes to our many facility users.

Lenten Flood Buckets Campaign

Instead of giving something up for Lent, the CSA community is on a mission to fill 40 Flood Buckets to help people whose lives have been devastated by floods. These kits will be deployed to help people all over the U.S. rebuild their lives following catastrophic flooding. Click to learn more.

Simplicity

Simplicity is a spiritual discipline. Simplicity through minimalism as suggested by Marie Kondo and adopted by young adults does not in and of itself imply peace, as Millennials and Gen Y still seem anxious and uneasy.

Go and Tell Christ is Risen!

In 1 Corinthians 15, the Resurrection Chapter, the Apostle Paul writes, “What I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins . . . that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures . . .” (1 Corinthians 15:3).
