Parenting Workshop, February 2025

Parents of children of all ages are invited to a parenting workshop on Sunday, February 2, from 4-5:30pm, led by Pastor Vicky.

Parenting is filled with both joyous and challenging experiences. We will spend time celebrating the joys and looking at some parenting tools that support the challenging times. Every family will receive the book Positive Disciple Parenting Tools.

Come and join the conversation with other parents. You will be reminded that you are doing an amazing job with your children and you will take home some tools to make the days more manageable and fun.

Please sign up at church, by contacting the church office: email or call (217-428-4336) or talk with Pastor Vicky.

Thank you - Can Opener Drive

Dear Central Family,

Thank you so much for your support & encouragement of the can opener drive.  Central donated 105 manual and 5 electric can openers.  At the time can openers were counted, I think there were about 360 total collected, but I heard rumor of more donations after the initial donation, and it’s quite possible we reached 400 total.  I am so grateful for your support.  Thank you so much for catching the vision to help feed Macon County neighbors!!

Much love,

Kathleen Dudley :)

Member in Search of Ride to Services

We have a member who has moved to the Mt. Zion area who is in need of a ride to church.  If you would be willing to give this member a ride to church, please call the church office, and we will connect you with them.
