Join a conversation about Central's vision/mission

Susan Grettenberger

If you heard any of the recent sermons about Central's vision or participated in the process of developing the vision, you may have ideas about how our church ministry might be enhanced. An ad hoc group of church members working with the vision statement during the past year suggested it would be helpful to give you a chance to talk with our new pastor about your understanding of the vision.


Wednesday, July 17 at 7:00 p.m. and Thursday, July 25 at 10:00

a.m., Pastor McReynolds will listen to your thoughts about Central's vision.

Susan Grettenberger will facilitate, which means there will probably be some food and drinks, too. This is open to anyone interested in sharing personal insights about how Central might fulfill the vision we have identified for our congregation. This is a time for us to share with Russ.

There will be other opportunities to hear from Russ about his vision for the church's ministry. For more information or if you would like to do this but can't come during these times, please contact Susan at 372-4146 or via e-mail, at gretten2@msu.edu. We look forward to having you join us!!

Also, the spiritual gifts retreat in August is a great way to get on board with implementation of the vision, too. Look for that announcement in the Central Journal.


Work continues for the downtown ecumenical build for Habitat for Humanity

Thank you for your prayers for the ongoing success of this project! The downtown churches continue to work faithfully, contributing prayers, volunteers, and financial support. If you plan to volunteer in either the construction or support (meals, planning, etc.) and have not ever attended a Habitat for Humanity training, please attend one of these:

July 25, 7-9 p.m. at First Presbyterian

Mid-August at Pilgrim Congregational

Please turn in your volunteer sheets ASAP to the church desk, or call Mary Boudreau at 372-4146. God bless you and God bless the DEB!
