Baptisms Again This Week!

 

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.

Rev. Keela Neumann, retired Disciples of Christ minister, transferred her membership to Central this past Sunday at the 9:15 service. Keela moved to the Decatur area several years ago to be closer to her family.  She is the grandmother of Kate and Kaycee Neumann (two of our youth who helped lead Youth Sunday this week). Pictured with another granddaughter, Kinley, Keela has long attended Central – virtually and in person – and has always been supportive of anything her grandchildren are doing. Welcome Keela!

Lenten Devotional Books

Our theme for Lent this year is “Journey with the Psalms” and is based on the work Pastor Michael did last summer on his sabbatical.  During that time, he wrote devotions for 30 of the more well-known Psalms and compiled them into a devotional book.  Copies will be available beginning the first Sunday of Lent, February 18.  Feel free to pick one up.  If you would like a copy mailed to you, please let us know.
