Faith Night Skate Night
Friday, Feb. 23, 7:05 pm
Join the Providence Bruins for their annual Faith Night Skate Night! You’ll enjoy great seats at a discounted rate – $22 each – plus kids receive P-Bruins hats. Bring your skates, and after the game, hit the ice for an hour-long family skate. Not a skater? Hang out in the stands and enjoy faith-based music and messages from former NHL players. Purchase tickets at www.providencebruins.com/centralcongregational no later than Feb. 22.
The Netherlands Quiz
Sunday, Feb. 11, 12 noon
After a six-month stay in Providence, our friends from the Netherlands – Bart Koopman, Elize Koopman-Verhoeff, and daughter Anne-Sophie – will be returning home. To say goodbye on their last Sunday at Central, Bart and Elize will present an interactive “Netherlands Quiz,” providing insights into their home country – just as they’ve learned so much about ours. Pick up ice cream at the Scouts BSA Social and join them in Chapel Hall.
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.
