Bring your appropriately restrained pets for a special blessing at Central’s contemporary worship service, WAVE, on October 1 at 5pm. The service will be held outdoors if weather permits, and in the church auditorium if it doesn’t. The Central Praise Band will provide music, and a free supper will be served.
Senior Lunch Bunch: October 8
The Senior Lunch Bunch is a group of seniors that gather monthly for food, fun, and fellowship at a luncheon following Sunday worship. Everyone is welcome! Fall dates include October 8 and November 12. The cost is $5 per person. Please RSVP to Donna at dmorgansteele@comcast.net.
Fall Study on "Sermon on the Mount"
This fall, beginning Sunday, October 1, and continuing for six weeks through Sunday, November 5, you will have an opportunity to engage with Dr. Amy-Jill Levine when we spend six weeks looking again at Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount through the lens of her recent book, Sermon on the Mount: A Beginners Guide to the Kingdom of Heaven. The book reads like Dr. Levine sounds—funny in places, passionate, easy to follow. However, we are also going to offer you the opportunity to hear Dr. Levine directly through a DVD that she produced. I hope that you will be a part of this, for in focusing on the Sermon on the Mount, we are focusing on some of Jesus’ “greatest hits” as a teacher through which Jesus provided us with a roadmap, of sorts, for how God wants us to live. Join in the study in the Boardroom at 11:15am – purchasing the book is optional.
Children and Youth Choirs and Bands
The Children’s Choir, under the leadership of Dr. Charity Wicks, rehearses on Sunday mornings at 11:00 a.m. beginning on September 24. Feel free to drop in to the Music Studio (located behind the auditorium) to check it out!
Middle Schoolers are invited to join Crashing Giants, a band for vocalists and musicians. Rehearsals will be Wednesday evenings beginning September 27 at 5:00pm in the Music Studio (behind the auditorium).
High Schoolers are invited to join the High School Praise Band, which rehearses on Thursdays beginning on September 28 at 7:00pm in the Music Studio.
Both groups are lead by Adam Gilbert, and perform in worship at various times during the year. Contact Adam with any questions at AGilbert@centralpres.org.
