This past Sunday, June 7, we were honored to attend the Celebration of Ministry Eucharist, gathering with the congregation and community to celebrate Concordia Lutheran Church as they conclude 132 years of ministry in Manchester.
As a founding member of MACC Charities, Concordia Lutheran Church helped lay the foundation for the organization we have become 53 years later. Their faith, vision, generosity, and commitment to serving others have touched countless lives and helped build a stronger, more compassionate community.
While this chapter of Concordia's ministry comes to a close, its godly heritage and enduring spirit will continue to live on through those who carry forward its legacy of love, service, and kindness. Knowing that the church's physical space will continue to serve the community is a testament to Concordia's unwavering love for Manchester and for all who live, work, worship, and visit here.
The name Concordia Lutheran Church will forever remain woven into the fabric of MACC Charities. We are deeply grateful for all that you have sacrificed, contributed, and inspired over the years to ensure that we can continue standing strong for our neighbors in need.
On behalf of all of us at MACC Charities, thank you for 132 years of faithful ministry, partnership, and service. Your legacy will continue to shine through the lives you have touched and the community you helped build.
