Worship Team
Will you prayerfully consider serving on the Worship Team? We have many dreams to grow our worship services in the coming years so that others will have space to connect to God. This might mean new services, different services, or television services. All of these need more servants in the audio video work to become a reality. Please prayerfully discern whether you have the time and heart to bring worship more fully to someone else. several people are ready and willing to walk every step with you. If you feel this tug on your heart, please contact Pastor Joseph or Pastor Jen.

Meeting with Central Medical Professionals
We are seven months into this pandemic. We know so much – and yet, it seems so little. At Central we wanted to have a time of conversation with some of the medical professionals from our congregation. This will be a time to ask questions of and hear from those we know about the current state of our community’s fight against the Coronavirus while also offering encouragement and prayer for our members in the medical professions. Join us Sunday, October 25th at 7:00pm on Zoom – stay tuned as the invite will be posted next week.
Community Emergency Relief Room
Last week there were two fires in Richmond. We reached out and provided assistance to the young couple and the single mother with six children who were involved. Much of this was in the form or clothing and bedding. More will be provided once they have found a new place to live. As we continue to help those in need, we will find it necessary to have our room stocked with items often needed. As always, we are looking for shoes, especially for school age children. Sweat shirts and sweat pants have been items often requested and are currently in limited supply. Bedding and essential household items and kitchen items remain a need, essential being items you would need to replace if you lost everything. Pots and pans, toasters, lamps, small furniture items and towels for example. As always, thanks to the members of our congregation who are supporting this mission.
