THANK
YOU
Dear Central Family,
Thank you for all the blessings during recovery from my recent
surgery. I truly appreciate all the meals, cards, texts, phone calls and
especially the prayers. The basket Juanita and Rondell delivered had so many
delicious goodies! I love you all and am excited to be back with you in
person. Love,
Deborah Brown
THANK
YOU, WEIGHTED BLANKET MINISTRY
Thanks to Central Family ladies for the Weighted Blanket
ministry!
On April 9, 2022, Agape of North Alabama recognized the
ongoing work of Central in sewing “weighted blankets” for young children. The blankets are sewn to detailed specifications to calm children
who have suffered trauma.
Central women have worked hard for several years to sew
these blankets and provide them to Agape for distribution to families in need.
This is an opportunity to minister to families of children who have
special needs, and a great way to serve others if you have an interest in
sewing.
James 1:27 – “Religion that God our Father accepts as
pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress…”
A plaque detailing the award will be displayed in the library.
