Mark your calendar for our annual ice cream outing at Eskimo King (29 Market Street, Swansea, Mass.) “where ice cream rules!” Grab your kids, teens – and their friends – and meet other Centralites at the picnic tables, near the playground.

Summer Bible Study

Sunday, July 12, 9 am

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 “The Endurance of the Saints.” Next week’s is “God’s Judgments are Just.” Join us in the Fireplace Room.

Food For Thought Book Group 

Thursday, July 9, 7 pm

This month Claudia’s book group discusses “Happy Land” by New York Times bestselling and NAACP Image Award-winning author Dolan Perkins-Valdez. This multi-generational, “historical fiction” novel is about the stories that shape us and the courage it takes to dream. The group will meet in the Fireplace Room. Up next month, on Aug. 13, is “Abide with Me” by Elizabeth Strout

Summer Choir

Sunday, July 12, 10 am

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!

MidWeek Game Night

Wednesday, July 15, 6 pm

Central’s weekly MidWeek gatherings ended in spring. But we’re reviving it for this week this July. So save the date for a midsummer MidWeek Family Game Night. Bring your favorite games – along with your friends and family – and prepare to have a rollicking good time! And of course, supper will be served. Probably pizza!

Amos House Breakfast Volunteers

Wednesday, July 8, 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).
