The Central Link - 9/21/25

Please join the United Women in Faith for a luncheon in the Family Life Center on Sunday, September 21 from 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM. This event will be held between services.

The cost of attendance is $10 per person, and money will be collected at the door.

The Monroe High Football team needs your support! We are collecting new or gently used neck ties and bow ties for the athletes to wear on game days. Please bring ties to donate; collection will be in the Shareback area.

This month’s Shareback is supporting Chalk It Up to Love, a school supply collection and distribution that helps local Title One schools start the year strong. Your donations will go directly to students and teachers who need a little extra support to kick off the school year. Let’s come together to make a difference in our community and show a little love through something as simple as a box of pencils or a pack of notebooks. Collection bins are located in the narthex and at the shareback table (next to the Choir Room). Thank you for giving generously! Below, you can find the list of preferred items as well as a link to the Amazon wish list!
