You are invited to the inaugural concert of “JUST PRESS PLAY”: the after-school music program for kids 3rd through 5th grade, sponsored by JOB SOURCE and held 4-days-a-week at CENTRAL CHRISTIAN CHURCH.

These kids, who have been taught by some of Madison County’s finest musicians, have been learning to play their instruments, studying music theory, and so much more…for the past 16 weeks (from 4p-5:30p, after school, Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.)

Come support these kids, in the SANCTUARY at CENTRAL – Sunday June 24th at 5:00pm!

We are happy to say that we will host them again, next year through the entire school year!

CENTRAL CHRISTIAN CHURCH is happy to announce the appointment of our new DIRECTOR OF FINANCE, Kathleen Wile.

Kathleen is no stranger to Central Christian, as she and her husband (Dr. Jay Wile) are actively involved with Central’s theatre, THE ALLEY THEATRE, and are friends with many congregational members.

Kathleen is the former CEO and co-owner of Apologia Educational Ministries. She is an Anderson native and AU alumna who brings expertise in scientific research, educational publishing, and business management to her role at CENTRAL. Kathleen and her husband, Jay, have a grown daughter, Dawn, and live in Anderson and attend Wesley Free Methodist Church.

Welcome, Kathleen!

Dear Central Christian,

You are very special, and I am especially grateful.

I want all of you to know how much I have enjoyed working at CENTRAL CHRISTIAN the last almost 20 years…and getting to know all of you.  I really believe that God brought me here.  You have all been so kind to me and I do plan to visit again.  Thank you for the good wishes, prayers, and cards.  I will keep you in my own prayers and will miss you greatly.

LINDA STACY, Finance Director (retiring)

CENTRAL just finished a study of  THE LORD’S PRAYER, each Sunday with Pastor Rick.  Beginning FATHERS’ DAY (June 17th) Pastor Rick will begin a new study, looking at the “upside-down” nature of the KINGDOM OF GOD, from the perspective of the “world’s” kindoms.

All are welcome at 10:00am each Sunday!

Indiana’s own “Klezmer” (basically Jewish Party Music) band, “INDYKLEZ” will be leading the music in worship on Sunday, August 19th at 10:00am.  
You will recognize the singers as Central’s own PASTOR RICK, and the clarinetist might look familiar as well (Dr. Becky Chapell).
Come enjoy some energetic, historic, and fun music for worship – to help get our L’CHAIM travellers (those going on the HOLY LAND trip) in the mood for their trip which begins August 31st.
All are welcome each Sunday for worship at 10:00am.

PBS – Wednesdays at 6:00pm, starts up again in AUGUST.  It will be focused on the places in Israel our “L’CHAIM HOLY LAND TOUR” will visit.  Stories and trivia about these places in the Holy Land where Jesus and the disciples stood and travelled.

…all are welcome, even if you’re not going on the trip.

Tickets for the 2018 ALLEY THEATRE GALA are available in the CENTRAL CHRISTIAN CHURCH OFFICE (Tues-Fri 9a-5p) or by calling THE ALLEY THEATRE Box Office Message Center at 765.643.0701.
