The Technology Committee is seeking volunteers who are interested in learning how to operate Central’s sound equipment during worship services and other special events – when our resident “sound engineer” Jim Silverthorn isn’t available. If you are interested, we will set up one-on-one training at your convenience. Contact Tom Viall, Bob Stout, or Don Wolfe to learn more!

Hamilton House presents a one-hour version of Tom Stoppard’s modern masterpiece “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead.” This fascinating drama tells the story of Hamlet from the bewildered point of view of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, two minor characters. Here, Shakespeare’s Laurel and Hardy take the lead roles, but do so in a world where reality and illusion intermix. A discussion and light refreshments follow the free performance.

We have 18 committees to thank for the amazing things Central is able to accomplish. All of this work is run by members and friends who understand that “church” is a verb. How we use our talents and time makes Central more than just a special place of worship, but a wellspring of true community. You can be part of it. Join us in Chapel Hall and see how you can make a difference!

The Easter Vigil is the church’s first official celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. This meditative, candlelit service is traditional in every way except length. Lasting approximately 45 minutes (instead of all night), it includes a service of the light, service of the Word, service of baptism, and service of communion. Please join us in Wilson Chapel.

In times past, early Christians gathered together to hear the Bible read aloud. That’s how we will encounter Ruth. In this, one of the shortest books in the Bible, Ruth, a Moabite woman, marries into a Jewish family, becoming one of Jesus’ ancestors: King David’s great-grandmother. Join us in the Fireplace Room for a soup and bread lunch as we listen to Ruth’s story of disaster, perseverance, and loyalty. RSVP to Claudia.
