 Let’s meet after Worship at the amazing Crescent Park Carousel (700 Bullocks Point Avenue, Riverside), a National Historic Landmark built in 1895 by the famous designer Charles Looff. Whether you ride or watch, it is a piece of Americana – and fun for both children and adults! Bring a snack or picnic lunch, if you like. Questions? Ask Claudia.

This summer, Claudia’s Summer Bible Study group is exploring The Book of Revelation. It is the only apocalyptic book in the New Testament and spans three literary genres: the epistolary, the apocalyptic, and the prophetic. Come to one session or to all of them. The topic this week is “God is in Control .” Next week we’ll finish up our summer studies with “All Things New.” Join us in the Fireplace Room.

Mark your calendar! September 15 is Gathering Sunday.  Patrick will preach, the Central Congregational Church Choir will sing, and Children’s Church will begin a new “school year.”  After worship, we’ll enjoy Coffee Hour in Chapel Hall.  Please join us as we kick off a wonderful new year of worship and fellowship!

During summer, Central’s choirs are on hiatus. So we will once again enjoy a “Summer Choir.” Singers of all ages are invited to gather in the Sanctuary Chancel before Worship for warmup exercises and a brief rehearsal of the service’s hymns and occasional introit. We welcome “regulars” and newcomers alike! It’s a great way to try out your singing voice as well as a low-key way to help lead the music during Worship!

Please consider becoming an Amos House Breakfast Volunteer! Amos House provides 400 meals every morning. And on Wednesdays from 6:30 to 8 am, Central members meet in the Amos House kitchen to help assemble pre-packaged breakfasts. If you can volunteer every week, that’s great. But if you can only come occasionally, we welcome – and need – every extra set of hands. Questions? Contact Tracy Baran (tmoorf@gmail.com).
