It will be wonderful to gather again for Central’s annual Community Dinners! We’ll meet in Chapel Hall for appetizers and then head to members’ homes for dinner.  It’s potluck.  Your host provides the main dish, and others bring sides, desserts, and drinks.  Great food … great people … great fun … and a wonderful time to think about what your pledge provides to Central, our community, and the world. Children are welcome. To attend or host, RSVP to Jeff Baran (jeff@wakefieldliquors.com) and let him know if you have any food or pet allergies.

This summer, CCC Youth will travel to Appalachia, where they will put their faith into action. Our consultant for the trip is Praying Pelican Missions. You can check out their website at prayingpelicanmissions.org. We encourage all Central teens to sign up – including those who will enter high school in the fall, as well as 2022 high school graduates. Mission trips are rewarding, life-changing experiences, filled with adventure, fun, work, and fellowship. Please clear your teens’ schedules now so they will be free to come!

People who are considering membership in Central Congregational Church will meet once again with our senior minister Rebecca Spencer – in the Fireplace Room – to share stories of faith and discuss what they want and need in a church.  If you have questions, please contact the Church Office (401-331-1960 / cccangell@centralchurch.us) – and Rebecca will get in touch.

The Board of Deacons has come up with an excellent – and easy – way to celebrate our wonderful and welcoming church and invite others to join us:  oval car signs.  There are two designs bearing Central’s website address – “CCC” and “Kindness Matters” – available as magnets and stickers.  Pick them up in Chapel Hall after Sunday Worship or in the Church Office during the week.  We welcome donations to help cover costs.  Thanks to George and Sandy Delany for shepherding the design process!

While Central members are in the Tentative Budget Approval Meeting, CCC children and youth will enjoy an interactive workshop with Shane Manzi – singer, songwriter, and guitarist. They will learn about the components of songs and other musical compositions and discover how easy and enjoyable creating music can be. Whether your kids have lots of music experience or none at all, this is a not-to-be-missed opportunity.

Your presence and input are crucial to this week’s annual Tentative Budget Approval Meeting. The budget determines what we can accomplish as a church during the coming fiscal year and enables us to keep our sanctuary alive with worship, music, fellowship, mission, and outreach. We’ll share updates on the Chapel Hall capital campaign and construction, as well as other church initiatives. We’ll meet in the sanctuary after worship.  Thanks for your attendance and participation!
