- Maundy Thursday Experience – Jesus came to Passion week with a small group of friends. Gather your household or bubble friends and walk through this experience to encounter Jesus’ final Passover – to encounter your God anew. Small groups (2-8) will go station by station to act and reflect as we together prepare ourselves for Easter morning. Gathered groups of pilgrims can journey through together every 5 minutes from the Parlor here at Central from 6-8pm.
- Good Friday Service at 7pm at Central – The terrible event of the crucifixion told through Jesus’ seven last words. Come as we again remember what our sin has done. Come as we remember that true love bleeds. The invitation link to come in a few weeks, stay tuned.

The next blood at Central United Methodist has been scheduled for Wednesday, April 28 between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. As always, the need for blood donations is high. Covid precautions will be in practice as they have been in the past. The bar has been set high as we have forty-six time slots to fill. To register, go to redcrossblood.org enter CUMC in the box that says find a drive, select your time and put it on your calendar. Central has been recognized by the Red Cross as a strong supporter. Blood donations is a great way to continue our support.

Prayer Partners
I have had multiple responses from prayerful people who would love to be partnered with a young person in our church. Many parents have also responded that they would love for their child to be a part of this great opportunity for prayerful connections! We only have one more need at this time! We are in need of some praying MEN who would love to pray for and encourage (via mail) a young man or boy. If you feel God nudging you to join us in the Prayer Partner journey, please contact Sheri via email at sheri@richmondcumc.comThanks!
