Noelle Cohan joined the Central family this past Sunday. Noelle has been attending traditional worship (both 8:00 and 10:30) weekly for the past month-and-a-half, has begun attending the Ecclesia Sunday School class, and says that she immediate felt “at home” here the moment she began attending. Welcome Noelle!
Wanted: Liturgists
Central is looking for more liturgists to serve in either Traditional or Contemporary worship. Liturgists help usher people into a worshipful mindset by leading a prepared Call to Worship during the service. They also write their own invocation prayer that is read before the Lord’s prayer. Training available! For more information, contact Pastor Michael.
On Easter Sunday, Emmy Osman and Cohen Irby (pictured left) were baptized at our 10:30 service. This Sunday, Clara Damery and Clara Monroe (right) will be baptized as well. Since Clara and Clara attend the 9:15 a.m. service, their baptisms will take place around 10:00 a.m. The 9:15 service will end a bit early and then the congregation will come upstairs for the baptisms (in our baptistery). If you do not normally attend the 9:15 service but would like to join us in the sanctuary for the baptisms at 10:00, feel free to do so.
Thanks so much to all of the volunteers who planned, prepared and helped with the Easter Egg Hunt with a Twist held on Easter morning for our children and their families. It was a joyous and busy time as clues were read, baskets of treats were shared, and excitement filled the air as families moved up and down and all around the building.
Each station related to a story in scripture where children collected scripture cards to read at home, filled eggs, and treats. At the final station, children received a large egg filled with goodies, and a scripture card with the story of the first Easter morning recorded in the gospel of Matthew.
What a fun way to celebrate the promise and joy of Easter! Thanks again to our amazing volunteers!
