Central Leaf Pick-up
It is that time of year again! We will be picking up leaves starting Thursday, November 5th at 9:00am and will continue though Saturday November 7th. We plan on spreading out the work over a few days to keep everyone from getting too tired. The leaves in front of the church and east side need to be raked into 15th street curb. The leaves along 14th Street need to be raked into the 14th street curb. All others will need to be bagged for us to haul to Buckleys. If you are interested in helping out, contact the church office at 765-962-8543 or contact Dave Sheets. We need all the help we can get!
Technology Assistance Tutorials
The pandemic has placed a massive strain on our technology proficiency, understanding, and stamina. We want all of Central to be resourced and trained to the level desired.

Luke Sheridan is willing to learn alongside you on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays at 3:30 in the Fellowship Hall starting October 28th. Bring your devices, questions, and desire to learn as we tackle whatever is before us together. Feel free to email Luke to better prepare him at lcsheridan1212@gmail.com.

Community Emergency Relief Room
A big thanks goes out to those who have contributed to the Community Emergency Relief Room, especially over the past week. JC Penny knew about our Relief Room efforts and decided to donate their unliquidated clothing to our mission. For the most part, we are well stocked with men’s and women’s clothing. So, this makes our current need as shoes, children’s clothing, sweatshirts and sweatpants, bedding, and essential household and kitchen items. There is always something to do in the Relief Room. For example, there are clothes to inspect, sort and place in the appropriate location. There are kitchen and household items to inspect and place on the shelves. We would like to encourage other members of our congregation to become a part of this effort. There is no heavy lifting. You can help whenever your schedule allows and the church office is open. To become part of the mission team, contact Dana Mollenkopf at 765-277-0287 or papamole@comcast.net and we’ll get you started.
Prayer Walk Monday at Noon
Prayer connects us daily to a loving God moving in our midst. Let us cover our streets in prayer as we lift up our community to this movement. 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. Please contact Pastor Joseph with any questions.
