Description

Reflections, Gratitude & A Call to Continue the Legacy

As you reach the final pages of this cookbook, we pray that your heart is as full as your plate. The Concord Cookbook, lovingly compiled and edited by Pastor Kenneth D. Phelps, is far more than a collection of recipes. It is a celebration of tradition, community, and faith. Each dish represents not just the flavors of our kitchens but the spirit of our church family — past, present, and future.

This book is organized with care, featuring beloved contributions across a variety of sections: Beverages & Appetizers Soups & Salads Vegetables & Side Dishes Main Dishes Breads & Rolls Desserts This and That

From Pastor Phelps’ heartfelt reflections to the loving introduction by Sis. Veneeta Phelps, and the decades-long dream of Sis. Mary Marzette, this cookbook is a tribute to the hands and hearts that helped build Concord Missionary Baptist Church — one meal, one memory, one moment at a time.

We hope this is only the beginning. As Pastor Phelps reminds us, “Don’t let your amazing creations pass away with you. Pass them on.” We encourage you to keep writing, sharing, cooking, and capturing your family’s culinary traditions for generations to come.
