Sewing Circle
Saturday, Oct. 4, 10 am
Central’s sewing circle repairs, upcycles, and repurposes items – for themselves and charity. They’ll have mending projects, sewing machines, an ironing board, and other supplies – or you can bring your own. All skill levels are welcome. An experienced seamstress will be on hand to help. Contact Amy Hebb. Join us in Chapel Hall.
World Communion Sunday
Sunday, Oct. 5, 10:30 am
On the first Sunday in October, Christians around the globe celebrate World Communion Sunday. On this day, we remember that Jesus Christ is Head of the Church and that all denominations that promote Christian unity are one – and we draw faith and inspiration from seeing we are part of a community of billions of believers. Join us as we share in the sacrament with Christians the world over!
Blessing of the Animals
Sunday, Oct. 5, 2 pm
This Sunday, we will celebrate the Feast of Saint Francis with a blessing of the animals. This special observance honors the vital roles companion animals have in our lives. The love we give to and receive from our pets is a valuable reminder of God’s love for us all. Interested pets, great and small, on leashes, in carriers, or in photographs – and their human companions – are invited to join our senior minister Patrick Faulhaber on the West Lawn.
Amos House Breakfast Volunteers
Wednesday, Oct. 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).
