Offering

If Central is your church home, we encourage you to continue your tithes and offerings during this season. In so many ways, the work of Central is more important than ever before as we step up to serve those lacking important resources of daily living. You can give one time or set up a recurring payment by clicking on the donate button to the right. 

CENTRAL CONNECTION CIRCLES
The Deacons of Central are pleased to share a new avenue for people to meet online, check in with each other, and share concerns.  The first opportunities, called Central Connection Circles, will be Zoom sessions offered on different days and times the first week of May.  They will include some directed conversation, maybe focusing on a devotion or a reading, and some time for people to share concerns and offer support. Zoom circles will be offered on:

• Sunday, May 3rd at 11:00 a.m. with host Laura Hutton

• Wednesday, May 6th at 2:00 p.m. with host Maureen Smith

• Friday, May 8th at 5:00 p.m. with host Linda Berglund

To participate in these zoom events, check the mid-week email or May newsletter for the Zoom access link. You are also invited to reach out to Maureen Smith via email to have this information sent to you.

After this, if there is enough interest, the next step will be to foster small group development where a host meets with 6 to 8 people for 6 weeks to explore a topic and support each other. Team members will be contacting congregation members to see who would be interested in being part of a group and who would be willing to be a host.  If you have questions or interest in small groups or serving as a host, we invite you to speak with one of the Connection Circle planning team members:  Laura Williams, Laura Hutton, Linda Berglund, and Maureen Smith.
