Easter Festival Service of Worship

Sunday, April 8, 10:10 am

Our Easter Festival Service of Worship is a joyful, music-filled service – with choir, organ, brass, and timpani – that reaches mind and heart to acknowledge the faith that is so much greater than ourselves. The Central Congregational Church Choir will debut a new anthem by organist / choirmaster Patrick Aiken.  Worship begins at 10:10 am with Easter Preludes.

Easter Breakfast / Egg Hunt

Sunday, April 8, 9 am / 9:45 am

As we celebrate that Christ has risen, the Central church family will gather for a delicious Easter Breakfast ($10 per person, $30 for families. Proceeds benefit CCC Youth’s summer mission trip. Then, at 9:45 am, we’ll hold the annual Easter Egg Hunt for children in fifth grade and under. We’ll meet in the Fireplace Room before heading out to the West Lawn for the hunt! Nursery care available.

Easter Egg Decorating

Sunday, Mar. 29, 11:30 am

Let’s hang out together and decorate Easter Eggs! Just bring some eggs – regular or blown-out – though we’ll also have some on hand. We’ll provide all supplies, so everyone can have fun and paint up a storm. This lovely event is in memory of Ann Bliven, a 50-year Central member, whose technique makes blown-out Easter eggs durable enough to use year after year. Please join us in Chapel Hall.

Palm Sunday

Sunday, Mar. 29, 10:10 am

To remember Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem, the children of the church – with palm fronds in hand and donkey in tow – will lead the congregation on a joyous procession around the block. We will enter the church for Worship at approximately 10:30 am, accompanied by Central’s magnificent organ and choir, which will perform “The Palms” by Jean Baptiste Fauré.  We’ll meet outside on Diman Place.

Lenten Mission Supper

Wednesday, March 25, 6:30 pm

Please stay after the Lenten Meditations for for the last in this year’s Lenten Speaker Series. This week, Central is honored to welcome Tina Munter, Rhode Island Policy Advocate of the Green Energy Consumer Alliance, who will speak about environmental action. Join us in Chapel Hall following Lenten Meditations, for a simple soup-and-bread supper and scintillating discussion that impacts us all.

Lenten Meditations

Wednesday, March 25, 6 pm

Every Wednesday during Lent, a member of the congregation leads a brief, meditative service in Wilson Chapel, sharing their journey of faith. This is a chance to contemplate your own spiritual path, share in another’s journey, and find connections in common ideas, concerns, questions, and experiences. Perhaps most importantly, we come to know one another in thoughtful and faith-filled ways. Please stay after for our Lenten Mission Supper.
