REFLECTING AND REMEMBRANCE THIS ALL SAINTS’ DAY
On Sunday, November 1st from 10:00 a.m. - Noon, the Worship, Music and Arts Committee invites you to a time of reflection and remembering in our church sanctuary.  During this open house event, there will be an opportunity to pray, see the names and memorial items of church members and friends who have died in the last year, honor all those who have died of COVID-19, hear meditative music by some of our musicians, light candles for those in your life who you want to remember, and give thanks for this All Saints' Day. 

In order to create a safe environment, and in following the CDC guidelines, we will limit the number of people in the sanctuary and the building, and we will have directions on entering and exiting the building.  Please park in the Minnesota Public Radio lot (behind the church off 9th and Minnesota).  An usher will invite you in and guide you up to the sanctuary.  Upon leaving the space, you will be asked to exit the Cedar Street door and go back to the MPR lot via the sidewalk.  Both spaces are accessible;  however, accommodations will be made for those who need to return to the MPR via the church elevator.  Masks will be required;  we will have extras for those who need one. 

We would invite anyone who would like to remember a loved one (they do not need to be a member of Central church) who has died within the last year to bring a special item to display as part of the memorial.  Perhaps a photo, a craft item, or a special gift that speaks of what made that person unique and loved.  These items will be on display not only during the Nov. 1 open-house hours, but will also be included in a video used in on-line worship that morning.   

Items should be brought to the church office during the following times.  (It is helpful to call Anna or Mary ahead of time so they know to listen for you at 651-224-4728).  

• Tuesday, Oct. 27th from 9:00 a.m.. - 3:00 p.m.  

• Wednesday, Oct. 28th from 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.

Worship will also be available on-line on Sunday, November 1, at www.centralforgood.org/stream, and will include a video of the memorial display, reading of the names of Central members and friends who have died in the last year, as well as the sacrament of Communion.  

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.
