Thanks to all of Central’s congregation for all of your thoughts, prayers, concerns and support for me after my accident. Thank you all who contributed for the monetary donations to cover the balance of a new scooter and helmet. It’s an honor and a blessing to be able to be a part of Central’s staff serving God and all of you. I’m beyond blessed. May God continue to bless you all. – Greg Scott
