MidWeek at Central is NOT for adults only. Kids and youth – including the Children’s Choir – are invited to hang together for dinner each Wednesday at their own kid-friendly table in Chapel Hall. At 6:30 pm, choristers will move to the Choir Room for rehearsal – while the others remain in Chapel Hall for crafts, games, and other fun activities. Contact Cristina with any questions.
Central’s sewing circle repairs, upcycles, and repurposes items – for themselves and for charity. They’ll have mending projects, sewing machines, an ironing board, and other supplies – or you are welcome to bring your own. If you’re not a great sewer, don’t worry. All skill levels are welcome. And an experienced seamstress will be on hand to help. Contact Amy Hebb with any questions. Join us in the Fireplace Room.
Central’s popular discussion group not only explores the Christian response to political polarization in America, but also how we can turn Christian views into action. Contact Paul Armstrong or Kristin DeKuiper for more information. Join the conversation in the Fireplace Room.
Creativity is a form of renewal. In this group, led by artist Robert Ramspott, people of all skill levels are invited to slow down, breathe and reconnect with their inner lives by creating art – without judgement or pressure – so creativity can become an act of faith, presence, and shared humanity. Contact the Church Office to reserve your spot – and meet Robert in the Education Wing.
Hosted by the Stewardship Committee, Family and Friends Trivia is an annual event that is fun for all ages – and a chance to kick off our new fiscal year. Let’s see which team wins this time! (Women Gather plans to have at least two teams.) Join us in Chapel Hall.
In Stand by Me (1986), the year is 1959. Four 12-year-old boys – sensitive Gordie, tough guy Chris, flamboyant Teddy, and scaredy-cat Vern – are looking for adventure. And they find it in an unforgettable two-day trek to find another boy who’s gone missing, a journey that becomes an odyssey of self-discovery, friendship, and growing up. [89 minutes; color; Rated R] Join host Jim Silverthorn in the Fireplace Room.

Come one, come all – young and not-so-young. It’s time to spruce up Central’s building and grounds for spring! Projects range from polishing and dusting to raking leaves and moving furniture. Choose the task you want to tackle. Remember, many hands make light work. Plus, we’ll have coffee, doughnuts, and lots of good cheer! Please join us from 9 am to 12 noon – or whenever you can stop by.
We’ll remember Jesus’ Last Supper with his disciples by coming together as a community of faith for dinner and a celebration of Communion in Chapel Hall. We’ll reflect on the true meaning of sacrifice and love, as shown by Jesus during the Last Supper – as we let the spirit of Maundy Thursday remind us to cherish our loved ones and strengthen the bonds of friendship. Nursery care provided.
Central’s contemplative Service of Tenebrae (Latin for “darkness”) recalls the Crucifixion through scripture and music. The readings take us from the betrayal of Christ through His death on the cross. This profound service ends in quiet and total darkness. Children third grade and up are welcome to attend. Nursery care provided.
