David Bottom was presented a certificate of appreciation this past Sunday at the 10:30 service for years of faithful service in leadership of Central’s brass ensemble. We have all been blessed beyond measure by the many solos he has performed for special music, as well as his dedicated commitment as leader of the brass ensemble. Thank you David! Well done, good and faithful servant.
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.
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.
