One of your favorite things is about to happen!

MidWeek

Wednesday, June 3, 6 pm

Senior minister Patrick Faulhaber invites Centralites of all ages – and their friends – to join him for fellowship, food, and faith-filled conversation! Adults will share a meal at 6 pm and then dive into the previous Sunday’s scripture reading. Kids and youth will eat dinner at their own table and then enjoy crafts and games. Questions? Contact Patrick. Join us in Chapel Hall! This is the last MidWeek for spring. Stay tuned for information about occasional summer MidWeek get-togethers!
