Community Clean-up Day
Saturday, June 14, 9 am
In preparation for the Youth Service Trip to West Virginia (July 5 to 13), CCC Youth will participate in two mandatory team-building events. And all Central members and friends – both youth and adults – are welcome to join in. For Community Clean-up Day, we will partner with other local organizations to spruce up our neighborhood. Register with Cristina by Sunday, June 8. We’ll meet at Central and leave from there.
“The Real Inspector Hound”
Saturday, June 7, 2 and 7 pm
The CCC Players present “The Real Inspector Hound,” the first theatrical production on the new Chapel Hall stage – directed by Liam Newberry and featuring a cast of Centralites. This one-act play by Tom Stoppard is a parody of stereotypical parlor mysteries in the style of “The Mousetrap,” by Agatha Christie. Admission is $5. There are matinee and evening performances in Chapel Hall.
Wanted: Scripture Readers
June / July / August
Central needs scripture readers for summer Worship services. Let your voice ring out in June, July, and August … once or as often as you like. Judy Jamieson is coordinating. Contact her at 401-421-892 or jjamiesn@providence.edu. Or you can contact the Church Office or sign up on the Welcome Table in Chapel Hall.
Children’s Musical
Sunday, June 8, 10:30 am
On Sunday, June 8, during Worship, Central’s Children’s Choir will present “Once Upon a Parable” with words by Grace Hawthorne and music by Terry Kirkland. The musical tells of a rich person’s preoccupation with things that don’t matter. Discovering what really counts, the rich person learns a valuable lesson, and you might, too, as our Children’s Choir tells the story through drama and music.
Church Picnic
Sunday, June 8, 11:30 am
Central’s annual Church Picnic is always a wonderful celebration of almost-summer. After Worship, we’ll enjoy the fresh air and warm weather as a community of faith. Please bring some tasty picnic sides or sweets to share. The Religious Education Committee will provide the hotdogs, hamburgers, vegetarian burgers, and beverages! If you can volunteer to help, please contact the Church Office. See you on the West Lawn!
UCC Spring Gathering

All are invited to a morning of fellowship and learning.
