Families with children of all ages are invited to play and create at the Providence Children’s Museum. Explore the swirling ways of water, learn about plants, take a time-traveling adventure, and even create a blue-block world that goes beyond the imagination. Admission is $17 each – but only $14 for groups of five. So invite some friends, RSVP to Cristina, and let’s have some fun together! We’ll meet at the museum (100 South Street, Providence).

The Flower Committee needs your help! This committee is responsible for flower arrangements during Worship, but also has another, equally important, mission: building community! After services, committee members bring these flowers to Centralites who can no longer join us on Sundays or who have lost loved ones – a tangible reminder that they are not forgotten. Please join us in this very rewarding endeavor.  Contact the Church Office, Beverly Haviland, or  Cheryl Ludwig.

Let’s meet after Worship at the amazing Crescent Park Carousel, 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 children and adults alike! Bring a snack or picnic lunch, if you like. Questions? Ask Claudia. The Carousel is in Crescent Park (700 Bullocks Point, Riverside).

I scream! You scream! We all scream for ice cream! Especially in the middle of summer. Plan to stay after Worship. We’ll provide the ice cream. Please bring some toppings to share! Remember, everything tastes better on ice cream.  Need suggestions? Try chocolate syrup, sprinkles, fresh fruit, chopped up cookies or candy bars, whipped cream, maraschino cherries … the sky’s the limit.  See you in Chapel Hall!
