Concord Quarterly Meeting at Birmingham on April 24
Who is my Neighbor? The Good Samaritan Story
The program for April's Quarterly Meeting will focus on the question "Who is my neighbor?" This intergenerational program will begin with a play presented by the children who will practice their parts during the meeting for worship. Act 1 of the presentation will be the Good Samaritan story as it appears in scripture. Act 2 will use the same plot, but will be placed in a modern-day setting of a school playground. After the performance the Worship and Ministry Committee will lead an intergenerational worship sharing that will help us explore the idea of "our neighbor" in our contemporary lives.
