I scream! You scream! We all scream for ice cream! Especially in the middle of summer. Plan to stay after Worship for Ice Cream Sundae Sunday. We’ll provide
 the ice cream.  Please bring some toppings to share! Remember, everything tastes better on ice cream. Need suggestions? Try chocolate syrup, sprinkles, fresh fruit, chopped up cookies or candy bars, whipped cream, maraschino cherries … the sky’s the limit.  See you in Chapel Hall!

Congratulations to John Azar, Oscar Punchak, Miles Rardin – lifelong Centralites – and three other members of Central-sponsored Scout Troop 28 who have attained the rank of Eagle Scout and were recognized at a Court of Honor held May 22! Eagle Scout is the highest achievement in the Scouts BSA program. Since 1911, only four percent of all Scouts have earned this rank.

This Sunday, the church school will celebrate the end of the program year. The children will help lead the Worship service. Third and fourth graders will receive their Bibles, and we will recognize our graduating high school seniors. Please come and join in this day of celebration, joy, and gratitude. And after the service, please stay for the Church Picnic.

This weekend, the confirmation class reaches its final summit. The confirmands have written their faith reflections and will share them with their families at a celebration dinner on Friday, June 3 in Chapel Hall. On Sunday, June 5, the confirmands will enjoy a delicious breakfast prepared for them by the Board of Deacons. They will then lead the Worship service and be confirmed. Please stay after for the annual meeting and luncheon and personally greet our new members!

Kindness always matters.  Perhaps never more than with what’s happening in the world today.  That’s why Central’s Board of Deacons have created oval car signs – available as magnets and stickers – bearing this important message:  To celebrate our wonderful and welcoming church, invite others to join us, and communicate our core values.  Pick up one or two in Chapel Hall after Sunday Worship or in the Church Office during the week. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to come to Worship on Sunday mornings and see every car bearing this message of caring and hope?
