All Saints Sunday

Sunday, Nov. 3, at 10:30 am

All Saints Day is a joyous occasion at Central. The children make “paper-bag Saints” of people they see as saints in their lives. On Sunday morning, they’ll process into Worship with their paper-bag Saints – accompanied by the All Saints Band playing “When the Saints Go Marching In” – and then bring the bags home to fill with food items for Your Neighborhood Food Pantry (www.ynfp.org). Especially needed this year: canned goods and peanut butter. They’ll gather before Worship in Chapel Hall.

 

Confirmation Class

Sunday, Nov. 3, 9:15 am

Confirmation is an important milestone in the Christian life cycle, as well as life here at Central. All eighth graders – and older youth who wish to join – are invited on this journey of spiritual discovery. Confirmands investigate their personal sense of the Mystery, set intentions for leading spiritual lives that are fulfilling to them, and help each other wrestle with theological questions as they share unique experiences, perspectives, and beliefs. Confirmation Sunday will be Jan. 12.

Blessing Bags Project

Contact Morgan Johnson or Cheryl Ludwig, CCC Youth volunteers, for more information.
