MidWeek

Senior minister Patrick Faulhaber invites Centralites of all ages – and their friends – to join him for fellowship, food, and faith-filled conversation! Adults will share a meal at 6 pm and then dive into the previous Sunday’s scripture reading. Kids and youth will eat dinner at their own table and then enjoy crafts and games. Questions? Contact Patrick. Join us in Chapel Hall!

Pentecost Sunday

Sunday, May 24, 10:30 am

On Pentecost Sunday, we celebrate the wonder and mystery of God, the teachings of Jesus Christ, and the powerful gifts and movements of the Holy Spirit. Please wear red in celebration of the tongues of fire – and to remind us of God’s never-failing love for us and the love we are called to show to all people. After Worship, join us on the West Lawn for the releasing of the doves!

Annual Church Meeting

Amos House Breakfast Volunteers

Wednesday, May 20, 6:30 am

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).
