Worship Online
Central’s Session has agreed that it is in the best interest of all who worship at Central, and all who are served by our community, to cancel all in-person worship and activities at Central until further notice. Every Sunday, new content will be posted to this page for a worship-on-demand experience that you can view anytime throughout the week. For those without regular internet access, we are mailing worship materials via postal mail. If you have limited web access or know of someone in need of mailed content, please contact Anna Sanchez or call (651) 224-4748.

WELCOME
Elder Kiera Faye welcomes us to worship and shares announcements and Rev. Carol Reed leads us in a call to worship.
Children’s Time
Children and Youth Ministry Coordinator, Katie Morris shares a time for children. This last year has held immense sorrow, joy, uncertainty, anger, and everything in between. As we come upon this anniversary of not being able to gather in the ways we knew, be gentle with yourselves and those around you. Illustrated Ministry has created some coloring page prayers that might give words to some of what you're feeling this week. We are so grateful for this community and the ways that you care for one another!

Announcements
LIVE STREAM WORSHIP STARTS NEXT SUNDAY!
Next Sunday, March 21, will be our first live stream worship service. So, read on to understand what that means and what you can expect. You might be wondering how to tune in. The simple answer is: The same way to always have! The live video will start at 10:30 a.m., right here on Central’s website or YouTube channel. The broadcast will begin at 10:30 a.m., and will be available to re-watch later.
Right now the only people who will be in the sanctuary are the handful of worship leaders and camera operators, and we will be keeping our distance and wearing masks when not speaking, for everyone’s safety. Central does not yet have plans to invite worshippers in the sanctuary, but we look forward to that day!
As we move forward with live streaming, we will share more information as to how you can be more engaged with others in this new virtual worship experience. So, stay tuned!
