Lenten Study Series March 1, 8, 15, 22 and 29

Church Educator Cheryl Moles and Pastor Mike Riggins

will team-lead these sessions. They follow a provided
meal at 5:15 each Sunday evening in Fellowship Hall. Our overall theme is being a Presbyteri-
an at Central. Cheryl will lead off with a review of the Great Ends of the Church, asking at-
tendees to tell the stories of how each is lived out in our congregation.

Sessions following will look at the core values Central embodies, programming in the past
and possibilities for the future, biblical visions of the Christian church, and "futuring", possibly
with input from the Strategic Planning Task Force.

Join us for these warm, fun, educational events!

Volunteer Coordinator — Kelly Stinnett

It is a beautiful thing when people have “stacked hands” on something. A sense of being “in this together” - like a team.
Where you have the same goal in mind; have the same vision and desire to be worked out. Through praying together
on a regular basis, this is what I desire for Central Presbyterian Church: that we would have a sense of unity because
we have a central goal. That goal may look a little different from person to person, but at the root, it’s God working in
us and bringing an eternal purpose to our lives. When we come together (i.e. on Sundays or in prayer), this is when we
encourage one another and help spur one another on toward love and good deeds. When we are apart in our different
homes, occupations, and social circles, this is when our individual purposes come to life. To each person who has a set
of life experiences and passions of their own, let’s see what God wants to do through you for others around you. Pick
up a “Find Your Place to Serve” flyer, come pray together, or contact [email protected] to talk more about what God is
doing in your life! Thank you for your heart for God. ~ Ephesians 4:4-7
