Continuing the Conversation – UMC Update
The Administrative Council is inviting you to attend a follow-up session to continue the conversation regarding the UMC and the upcoming 2024 General Conference. We will provide information regarding the current state of things in the UMC, and if desired, paths for disaffiliation. We want to provide communication opportunities, receive more input via a questionnaire, and discern the next steps for Central. Please continue to join us in prayer over this decision as we discern God’s leading. We will hold this session in the Sanctuary following services on Sunday, November 13th. ~The Administrative Council
Endowment Lunch and Learn – Insurance
Join us November 20th following worship for a Lunch and Learn. The Endowment Ministry has a mission to ensure Central’s presence for decades to come. This learning session will be about insurance. Our world increasingly necessitates insurance, so let’s seek a better understanding together. Longtime Central member Jan Passmore will share from his wisdom gained over a long career in the insurance industry. After the brief presentation, Jan has graciously agreed to go over your household’s current insurance portfolio (please bring your policies!) and specific questions to ensure you and your household are adequately covered. We will gather in the Fellowship Hall.
