What’s Happening Now At Central Presbyterian Church
Upcoming Worship
Central offers an 8:30am service each Sunday, held in the Sanctuary. Communion will be served every week at this service.
Central is worshiping in the Sanctuary Sunday mornings at 10am. We will remain masked and observe social distancing.
Those in or near Summit, NJ, can also join us for worship at 10am Sunday mornings on Hometowne TV. The service will be live streamed to our Facebook as staffing allows, and will be posted to our YouTube channel after the broadcast concludes.
The Nursery will be available to age three and under. Sunday School for ages 3 through middle school is held in the auditorium each Sunday during the 10am worship service.
Central’s contemporary service, WAVE, will meet next on Sunday, December 5 at 5pm in the Auditorium for a Blue Christmas service. If you are not feeling the holly-jolly this year, come enjoy some blues at this service.

Living Nativity Needs Volunteers: December 12
The Living Nativity will take place on Sunday, December 12, 2021. The Nativity will run from 4:30 to 5:30 outside on the Maple St lawn, with cookies, cocoa and crafts handed out “to go”. Note, there will not be any indoor activities this year. We need lots of children “actors” in costume, as well as some adults in costume, plus lots of cookie bakers and cocoa servers. There will be a costume fitting (only for the “actors”) on Saturday, December 11th from 10:30 to 11:30, but if you’re not able to attend, we’ll work out an alternate time for the fitting. Please sign up here, and if you have any questions, please contact Francie Cho at yfcho@comcast.net
Advent Study: Carol Stories
Pastor Don Steele and Music Director Dr. Charity Wicks will lead a 2-session study on December 5 & 12 at 11am to dive into Christmas Carols. Different countries and eras will be examined. The class will be offered in person and via Zoom – attend either or both! See the Friday Email for the Zoom link.

DOING BETTER
Oprah Winfrey quotes the great Maya Angelou as giving her a piece of wisdom that revolutionized her life. While the quote has various forms, the one that seems to me to be the most helpful is this one: “I did what I knew how to do. Now that I know better, I do better.” As …
