Summer brings changes to our usual church school routine. We have introduced special summer programming that will enable Central children to engage with Bible stories in new and different ways. There may be an art activity one week, an active game another week, and a dramatic retelling of the story another week. By creatively interacting with the Bible, children will experience its teachings in more personal ways.

Summer 2023

This summer, The Gallery features abstract paintings – all acrylics – by Gail Esposito in a show entitled “The Art of Color.” Gail mixes all of her own colors and uses a liquid-art technique and a variety of finishing processes. This brush-free method results in a myriad of vibrant colors and shapes. Each piece is meant to be hung flush against the wall, in whatever direction most appeals to the owner.

Throughout the month of August, the Church Office will close at 4 pm.  In addition, the office will be closed all day on Monday, Aug. 14, for Victory Day. If you have any questions, please contact Antonia Greco, church administrator:  401-331-1960 / antonia@centralchurch.us

Thanks to the generosity of so many Central members, as well as others in our community, Scout Troop 28 – led by Eagle Scout Daniel Rogers – assembled more than 200 hot-weather kits for unhoused people in Providence. They distributed the kits in early June – once again proving that “Kindness Matters.” Central is proud to be the sponsoring organization of Troop 28.

Please join Frances Munro and Bob Stout for their wedding ceremony – immediately following Worship – and the reception afterwards in Chapel Hall. Both long-term members of Central, Frances and Bob were merely acquaintances when they joined Not Just Supper, Central’s social group for singles, a few years ago. The rest, as they say, is history.

We still have oval car signs available – magnets and stickers – to celebrate our wonderful and welcoming church, invite others to join us, and communicate our core values. There are two designs each bearing Central’s website address:  “CCC” and “Kindness Matters.”  Pick up one or two in Chapel Hall after Sunday Worship or in the Church Office – and help us spread our message of caring and hope!
