Tuesdays With Scripture
Tuesday, Mar. 10, 8 am
Central’s weekly community devotional is back! On Tuesday morning, we’ll get together virtually to discuss a short Bible passage. Each session is self-contained. So you can come to one or to all of them! Everyone is welcome. Contact Claudia for a Zoom invitation (claudia@centralchurch.us). And, she’ll also send you the reading and questions to consider ahead of time.
Community Care Conversation
Monday, Mar. 2, 6 pm
Central’s second Community Care Conversation – “Unpacking Christian Nationalism” – is an ideal follow-up to the 2026 Darrell West Lecture. Kristin DeKuiper, attorney and founder of Central’s Toward Better Christian Politics group; Bill Kole, author of “In Guns We Trust”; and Central senior minister Patrick Faulhaber will spearhead the conversation. RSVP to the Church Office (401.331.1960 / info@centralchurch.us) so we have adequate food and seating – and join us in Chapel Hall.
CCC Youth: Curling
Sunday, Mar. 8, 12:45 pm
The sport of curling – a blend of shuffleboard and bowling … on ice – has exploded in popularity, and we’ve reserved two lanes downtown! It’s fun, social, and accessible to all, so bring your friends. We’ll meet in front of Track 15 (1 Union Station, Providence) and afterwards enjoy a meal together at the new food hall. Check out the menus at track15ri.com. Please RSVP to Cristina.
Makers’ Day
Sunday, Mar 1, 2 pm
The children of Central are asking the entire congregation to join them for Makers’ Day, which launches their new charitable endeavor. We’ll be making bookmarks and friendship bracelets in Chapel Hall – and sweet treats in the church kitchen. All supplies will be provided. We just need the “human resources.” Ultimately, the kids will sell all of these handmade goodies to benefit a charity of their choosing. Please come and lend a hand!
Darrell West Pre-Lecture Discussion
Monday, Feb. 23, 7 pm (via Zoom)
If you’re interested in learning more about Christian Nationalism before the Darrell West Lecture, join our pre-lecture discussion via Zoom. We’ll cover the introduction and conclusion of Kristin Kobes Du Mez’s New York Times bestseller “Jesus and John Wayne,” as well as select articles from her Substack newsletter. For a copy of the readings and Zoom link, contact Paul Armstrong.
Special Service of Music
Sunday, Feb. 24, 4 pm
This month, the Central Congregational Church Choir will present “Litaniae de venerabili altaris Sacramento,” written in 1776 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart – featuring soloists and orchestra. It is the last and most mature of Mozart’s four Litany settings, written when he was just 20 years old! The program also includes the opening movement of Bach’s “St. John Passion.” Please stay after for a wine and bread reception in Chapel Hall.
