SPECIAL OFFERING: PEACE AND GLOBAL WITNESS
This week, we will receive the Peace & Global Witness Offering.  This special offering enables the church to promote the Peace of Christ by addressing systems of injustice across the world. It funds ministries of peace, reconciliation, and advocacy for peace and justice in cultures of violence through collaborative projects of education and Christian witness.  25% of this offering will stay with Central to be applied to local efforts of peace and advocacy.

To give to this special offering, go to:

1. Go to Central’s Give Page and choose ‘Special Offering’ when you click on the Paypal link.

2. Text PEACE to 20222 to give $10.

WOMEN’S NETWORKING GROUP
The Women of Central had a great gathering in September and are looking forward to October 5! The group who met on September 21st thought it would be fun to share recipes for fall cooking - with SQUASH.  Now, squash gives a lot of options - pumpkin, zucchini, spaghetti, acorn, butternut - and many more!  So, bring a favorite recipe to share with you - make it and show us if you have time.  

The upcoming event will be held on Monday, October 5th at 5:00 p.m. on Zoom. To receive the Zoom link, drop an email to the Women of Central or Anna Sanchez in the office.

FAITH FORMATION FOR CHILDREN & YOUTH
We won't have a regular Zoom gathering this week because of the Fall Family Hike, but look for a virtual lesson! Check out our lesson from this past Sunday on these interactive Google Slides for all ages!

Regular Gathering Times:

• 11:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.  Prek-5th grade (split by ages after greeting & check-in)

• 1:00 - 1:45 p.m.  Middle and high school youth

• 2:00 - 3:00 p.m.  Confirmation class

Led by Katie Morris, Megan Beese, and other adults in the Central community, we hope to provide space for the children and youth to stay connected with their church friends and feel spiritually nourished. (The Zoom links are included in the Children and Youth weekly email.)  If you need help or have questions, contact Katie Morris. We know that online gatherings don't work well for everyone, and we understand! If you have ideas about how your child would like to stay connected, or how your family would like to be supported by church programming this year, let us know.

OCTOBER NEWSLETTER
Soon the latest edition of Connect Central will be delivered to mailboxes.   But you needn't wait!  Download the October newsletter here.  To sign up to have this delivered to your mailbox or inbox, drop an email to Anna Sanchez. Take a look through to not only learn about upcoming events and activities but also learn about building construction projects currently underway!

CONNECTION CIRCLES
Have you yet shared in Central's weekly Connection Circles?   Connection Circles run every Thursday until December 17 from 5:30 - 6:30 p.m. (with the exception of Thanksgiving Day). These Zoom events are hosted by Central's Deacons and offered as a means for our community to gather and connect through different guided conversations. People of all ages and backgrounds share personal stories, concerns, and offer support with others. If you have not yet been a part of one, we invite you to stop by for this wonderful, casual gathering. Be a part of one or as many as you like! The Zoom link can be requested from Anna Sanchez or found in the weekly mid-week email eConnect.

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.
