Worship Online

To care for the health and safety of those who worship at Central, and in accordance with recommendations from national and local governmental authorities and the CDC, Session has made the careful decision to suspend all in-person worship and group activities through March 31. We will use this page to share worship each week, as a way to connect while still remaining safe in our homes. New content will be posted each Sunday morning and remain for you to watch and download as your schedule allows. We are also making other arrangements for those without internet access to receive 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.

If you are facing a pastoral emergency or have questions, our staff will continue to available to support you. See the bottom of the page for contact information and referrals.

Announcements

 

A WORK IN PROGRESS
Teachers and so many others are having to learn quickly how to provide distance learning, services, and connection. Here at Central we are trying new ways of gathering for worship in a time when we want to keep people safe by not gathering physically.  What you see on this page is a work in progress, which will evolve each week we are unable to share worship in person. We welcome your feedback and glad to welcome you in this online worship service. If you have comments or questions about the online worship, feel free to message Christie Rachelle or call the Central office at (651) 224-4728.
