THANK YOU

Thank you so very much for the beautiful fruit basket. You all are spoiling me. It is really great to have brothers and sisters who care so much.

We thank Juanita for making the beautiful, delicious basket of goodies that the church gave us!

Johnny Powell & Louise Williams

Thank you for the groceries and items that were brought to my family while I was in the hospital this week. It was greatly appreciated.                                      

Rachel Johnson

Dear Central Church Family,

We were very touched by the beautiful space themed baby shower you threw for us last weekend. We felt loved and cared for. There were so many details, the books, gifts, gluten free cookies, and so many more, that were all really touching. Thank you for being God's outpouring of love to us and our upcoming baby.                    In Christ,

Heidi & Bryan Haviland

Dear Church Family,

Thank you for your continued prayers for us. We appreciate the prayers, texts, phone calls, visits, and food so very much.

What a joy to receive the basket filled with fruit and snacks! And what can we say about Juanita and her talent in making the basket so attractive, delivering it, and taking time from her busy schedule to visit a short while.                                                                 We love you all.

Claudia Ford and Drue Wright

CENTRAL ADULT WEDNESDAY NIGHT

IN-PERSON AND ONLINE CLASSES

Wednesday, March 10 at 7 pm

The Bible has some great throne room scenes that provide a glimpse of what it’s like to be in God’s presence. John’s vision in the book of Revelation picks up on some of the visuals from Isaiah and Daniel to describe that awe-inspiring experience.

This coming Wednesday night, we will be reading passages from the book of Revelation and then singing songs that are connected with those readings. The gymnatorium will be available for those who want to participate in person, and the assembly will be livestreamed at https://www.centralfamily.org/ on the Central Family YouTube channel for those who want to sing along at home.

BENEVOLENCE SUPPER

On Sunday, March 21^st, at 5:30 pm, Central is hosting a congregational supper with a focus on sacrificial love and benevolence.

This will be a celebration of our time together in the letter of James over the last six weeks, as well as another opportunity to practice obedience to biblical teaching. James begins his letter by encouraging his readers to “not just be hearers of the word, but doers” (1:22) and he concludes his letter with a warning to the rich, specifically to those who selfishly value money over people. As a family of God serving in the city of Huntsville, we value the financial blessings we’ve received, and we strive to use our resources to help others in need.

For our meal, we’ll have soup, crackers, and water. The simplicity of the meal as well as its lower cost is intentional. Our goal is to partake in a sacrificial meal and to give what we would normally spend on a Sunday night dinner to our benevolence fund. May the Lord use this meal and the Central Family to bless those in need!
