All Saints Sunday- November 1st
On All Saints Sunday, we pause to remember and give thanks for the precious lives of those who have gone before us, especially the beloved members of our Central family who have entered eternal rest this past year. Their faith, love, and witness continue to be part of the story of our church.
We invite you to join us for this special time of worship as we remember those we hold dear, celebrate the communion of saints, and find comfort and hope in God's promise of eternal life through Jesus Christ.

Mobile Blood Drive- November 15th
As a congregation, we know firsthand just how precious the gift of life is. We've seen the power of prayer, the strength of community, and the difference that compassionate care can make during life's most difficult moments.
We also know that sometimes, the gift of life comes through the generosity of someone willing to give blood.
On Sunday, November 15, from 9:30 A.M. to 1:30 P.M., Central will host a Mobile Blood Drive in the Family Life Center parking lot.
Donated blood can be lifesaving for someone facing surgery, illness, or an unexpected emergency. Giving blood is a simple but powerful way to love and care for our neighbors.
We hope you'll consider donating. Your gift could be the answer to another family's prayers.
