THANK YOU

A BIG THANK YOU to Ali Wisehart, Jenny Kuhn, and Barrion Palmer for the outstanding reception for Rose. I mean WOW! It was beautiful! Well done!

Thank you to everyone that came by to meet Rose. Rose enjoyed dancing for everyone, while Jim and I enjoyed meeting members of our Central family.

Rose missed out on the Angel Tree sign ups, so the gifts that were given will be used as a part of her Christmas and for that we are grateful!

We are blessed to be a part of the Central Family.

WEDNESDAY ADULT CLASS

DECEMBER MINI-TERM 2021 – FLC

In the Old Testament, God made some amazing promises to people like Abraham, Israel, and David. These promises established how God related with His people for centuries. In the New Testament, we find that not only do Christians inherit some of these promises, but they provide hope that is an anchor for our souls (Hebrews 6:19). In this mini-series, we will examine some of these promises and explore how they remain relevant for our lives today. This class can either be in-person in the Family Life Center or join in on Zoom. Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86363371603?pwd=cjM1bmFxZ0kyTU5SR1VQUlN2QlpOZz09

The Generational Discipleship class will pick back up on January 5. Other classes will also be provided as well. More details to come!

ADULT CLASS FOR TODAY

Please note that there will be only one adult class for Sunday morning, December 26, at 9:00 in the Family Life Center. Allen Wright will be teaching the lesson.
