Fall Schedule – All Meetings held in the Fellowship Room

We are going to try a new study this year titled, 40 Days Through the Bible: The Answer to Your Deepest Longings  by Lisa TerKeurst, which we are hoping will be a condensed, easy to understand format to help us study and understand the Bible.

November 3 & 17

December 1 & 15

Kick off the holiday season at this wreath decorating workshop and share a glass of wine with fellow crafters!  For adults only, the workshop supplies all materials, but bring your own wine or beer.  Light snacks will be provided.  We will decorate 24″ artificial wreaths that you can take home. Registration required. $40 per person – pay at the door.   In the auditorium from 7 to 9pm.

Dr. Charity Wicks will live-score on the piano this narrated interpretation of The Nutcracker, perfect for preschoolers and kindergartners. Free and open to the public, the concert will be in the church auditorium at 11am.  

As Central Church enters into a new season with new beginnings, we are guided by a scripture passage from 2nd Corinthians, “But since you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in the love we have kindled in you—see that you also excel in this grace of giving.” 

Our Stewardship Campaign for 2026 is concluding this Sunday. Find a pledge form near the church entrances, or download it here. Please return your pledge commitment form by November 9 so that we can complete our budgeting for 2026. You may also email your pledge to Lisa Magee, Finance Administrator, at LMagee@centralpres.org.

Central Church goes into this next season with much excitement, anticipation, and hope because of your support.

Central is blessed with a large number of people who have been members for 50 years or more.  We will celebrate them in worship on November 9, and will hold a special coffee hour in their honor.

This year, EVERYONE is invited to a day of local shopping for Sharing Tree, followed by a wrapping party back at the church with cookies and cocoa.  Children are invited with their families – youth will head to town with their friends and chaperones.  Gather at 11am in the auditorium.  Don’t have time to shop?  You can donate to Sharing Tree here.

On November 16 at 3:00 p.m., Central will offer a concert in the Sanctuary featuring the Brooklyn Bluegrass Collective, and Motet Choir, and soloists! This concert is free and open to the public.

Senior Lunch Bunch meets Sunday, November 23, after the 10:00 a.m. service in the Fellowship Room.  A lunch will be served.  Cost is $5 per person.  Please RSVP to LyleBrehm59@gmail.com.
