New Members Class August 7th
As our community returns to school in August, we will be offering a New Members Class on Sunday Mornings in the Memorial Room. Whether this is your first Sunday or if you have been attending Central for years, this is for all called to commit prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness to Jesus here at Central. Paul tells us, “For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.” Please contact Pastor Joseph if you are interested in attending or would like more information.

Ministry Fair
Thank you to all participants and attendees of the Ministry Fair after worship last Sunday. We were able to help over 18 people get signed up in various ministries! If you did not get a chance to visit the Ministry Fair and would like to get involved, there’s still time. Contact the church office and we will get you in contact with the ministry you are most interested in. Be on the lookout for information about our next Ministry Fair this Fall!
Prayer Walks
Prayer connects us daily to a loving God moving in our midst. In his 3 rules for Methodists, John Wesley calls us to both private and public prayer. On the first Monday of every month at noon, we will have a prayer walk through our neighborhood. We will divide into small groups at the entrance of the church and proceed in different directions. Along the way, we will pause to pick up trash and renew our streets and sidewalks. Contact Pastor Joseph with questions.
