Community Emergency Relief Room
The Community Emergency Relief Room continues to help fire victims, as well as other individuals referred due to unforeseen emergencies. Small furniture items such as dressers, book cases, chairs, desks, dinette tables, night stands and bed frames are often needed. Other needs would be kitchen items and small household items such as lamps, bedding, cleaning supplies, etc. Personal clothing items typically are not accepted unless there are packaged. The continued support of the Central congregation is greatly appreciated.
 
Getting Political – Shalom Sessions
With so much dividing us in our world today, the church can and should offer a third way of uniting us in following the way of Jesus. The church is a political (but not partisan) entity and we will be continuing the conversation of Central can be a place for all to build God’s shalom in the world. Join us on the 3rd Tuesdays of the month at 12:05 in the Fellowship Hall for a brown bag lunch as we discuss and listen to the matters and efforts breaking and making the Shalom of our community. On the 19th, we will be discussing abortion, gun control, and the ongoing debate within the UMC. Bring your lunch, your bibles, and a listening ear. May God break our hearts for what breaks his in this season.
