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. 

DIAPER DRIVE DROP-OFF TODAY!
With concern for health and safety during the Covid-19 pandemic, Project Home's model has shifted so that families with children are being housed in hotel rooms in downtown St. Paul.  At this tie, these families are in need of diapers and baby wipes.  One of the best ways we can support these families during this time is by donating baby diapers and wipes to be safely delivered to the families.  At this time, toddler sizes 5 and  6 are the ones most requested, though baby/toddler diapers of all sizes are accepted.

If you would like to make a donation, simply drop it off at the Central TODAY (Sunday) from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Central’s MPR Lot entrance. August 16 is the last day for drop offs (and thank you to everyone who has already contributed to this drive).

SEEKING NOMINATIONS FOR ELDERS AN DEACONS
Central's Nominating Committee has begun its work to prayerfully consider people to serve as elders and deacons for the next terms.  Presbyterians elect elders to exercise leadership, government, and discipline, and deacons to minister to those in need.  At this time, we are seeking your ideas and suggestions of people that you think might be good elders and deacons.  Self-nominations are encouraged!

To learn more, pick up the August newsletter.  To submit a nomination, email your confidential suggestions to Rev. David Colby with your reason for the nomination and he will share your suggestion with the whole Nominating Committee.

QUESTIONS AND EMERGENCIES
If at anytime you have questions, concerns or ideas, we invite you to reach out to our staff who will continue to be available.  While voice mail will be checked as staff are able, we encourage you to send emails for more immediate response.  If you have a pastoral emergency, please call 651-224-4728 ext. 102 and the voicemail will provide instruction to reach the pastor.
