Scout Sunday / Ice Cream Social
Sunday, Feb. 11, 11:30 am
Scouting roots grow deep at Central. We are the sponsoring organization for Scouts BSA Troop 28. During the worship service on Scout Sunday, we will recognize our Scouts for their many contributions and accomplishments over the past year – and then enjoy their hospitality at an ice cream social during coffee hour in Chapel Hall.
Wellness Workshop
Wednesday, Jan. 24, 10 am
Central’s friend and neighbor, Dr. Saira Hussain, hosts these twice-a-month (usually) community-based, holistic-living workshops. Every session brings together people from all walks of life to share experiences and tips for living healthier, more positive lives. Activities include yoga, cooking demonstrations, and more. To participate, text Dr. Hussain at 401-405-6482.
Welcome Our New Senior Minister!
Sunday, Jan. 21, 10:30 am
This week we officially welcome our new senior minister, Patrick Faulhaber, and his wife Susannah to Central’s Sunday Worship – where Patrick will preach his first “official” sermon. Please stay after for Coffee Hour to personally greet Patrick and Susannah and help us introduce these Southerners to some Rhode Island hospitality. (And be sure to wear your name tag!)
Scouts BSA Troop 28
Tuesdays, 7 pm
Scouting roots grow deep at Central. Central is the sponsoring organization for Scouts BSA Troop 28, which offers young people adventure, camaraderie, and mentorship in character. The troop has a strong outdoors program – including camping, hiking, climbing, canoeing, and skiing – and offers a number of merit badges and skill-building sessions. Troop 28 is open, inclusive, respectful, and – during the school year – meets weekly in the Makepeace Room.
Member Photos Needed!
Sunday, Jan. 7, 11:30 am
Help our new senior minister get to know our congregation! We’re collecting photos of every Central member for a new digital directory. If you have an up-to-date(-ish) headshot, email it to photos@centralchurch.us along with your full name. (No group or family photos.) Or, stop by the Membership Committee’s “photo booth” during Coffee Hour, and we’ll take one for you. Just be sure to smile for the camera!
