Where do we get pastors who preach and care for us with God’s Word? Where do we get teachers who teach our children about Jesus in our Lutheran schools? Where do we get our directors of Christian education, deaconesses and directors of parish music? Set Apart to Serve (SAS) is partnering with our seminaries, Concordia universities, districts, congregations and many others to build a Synodwide culture of church work formation and recruitment. You can contribute toward this effort by taking this brief online survey at lcms.org/set-apart-to-serve-survey. Please let us know how all of us can make SAS more beneficial to your congregation. It is important we hear what you have to say.

Playground Fun – Please join us EVERY Sunday after service (weather permitting) at the playground. Children should be accompanied by an adult. This gives us another fellowship experience as the adults chit chat and the children enjoy the playground equipment.  

+EDUCATION+

3 Are you also sorry for your sins?    Yes, I am sorry that I have sinned against God.

4 What have you deserved from God because of your sins?   His wrath and displeasure, temporal death, and eternal damnation.

EMMANUEL DINING ROOM 

Faithful Servants, 

“We love because God loved us first.”  (1 John 4:19). It’s only fitting that in February, the Valentine’s Day “love month,” we should get another opportunity to show God’s love to our neighbors at the Emmanuel Dining Room.

 On Friday, February 27th, Concordia Lutheran Church and Preschool had the privilege of serving 141 hungry men, women, and children of Wilmington.  Your casseroles and brownies are always well received and thoroughly enjoyed.                                                                                          Thanks again to all the cooks and bakers who prepared the meal and to Trudy Fletcher and Jody Bacher for helping to serve this month.

I recently read a quote that said,  “The wise ones know we’re in this world together, and we’re all just walking each other home.”  Like we sing, “We are brothers and sisters in Christ.”         Thank you for listening to Jesus and “loving your neighbor as yourself.” 

 Blessings, Dale and George

We sort and pack donations for people in need on Wednesdays 10:00am – 2:30pm and Saturdays 9am –1:30pm at the former Dansko warehouse: 8 Federal Rd, West Grove, PA, 19390. Please consider joining us, we welcome teens through adults! 

Read all about OGT on the bulletin board by the library or visit our webpage for the full list of items our recipients need most, current hours of operation, and the latest updates. You may also click ORPHAN GRAIN TRAIN under the Concordia SERVICE tab for current news. Donated items should be placed in the All Saints' Hall closet (to the right as you enter the room). 

Our most immediate need is for a new warehouse location as our lease expires in fall 2026! We prefer a southeastern Chester County location, or other safe neighborhood near the PA–DE state line, with 6,000 to 10,000 sq ft, a loading dock and parking for at least a dozen cars. If you have any information, please contact OGT volunteers Tom Fuesler or Carla Niesen.                          

Meals on Wheels - Serving our community meals during the last full week of each month (February 23-27, 2026). The time commitment is usually 1 1/2 hrs. (11:00 AM - 12:30 PM). Please contact Susan Fuesler or email the office at info@concordiade.com. Meals are picked up at Silverside Church with directions for delivery route. Please consider volunteering; you will bless others and be greatly blessed as well!  

Time. Talent. Treasure.

Maybe your TALENT could be helping out in the office occasionally; or helping prepare clip boards for tots to use during service.

Let us thank Jesus that He continues to provide for us! Please consider giving your offerings through your bank or your credit card. Questions related to financial giving can be addressed to financialsec@concordiade.com .
