During the quarantine, CENTRAL CHRISTIAN CHURCH took advantage of the empty church building to do a little up-grading.  We have a new, state-of-the-art FIRE ALARM SYSTEM.  This system protects our very precious “old” building and sends the alarm directly to the Fire Department as well.

Thankfully, there was cash enough in our checking account to cover the more-than-reasonable invoice, but we would like to reimburse our account and get us back on track with our budget.

Please, if you can, give directly to the FIRE ALARM SYSTEM when you pay online OR write your checks to CENTRAL and give on Sunday Mornings – or mail it in.

When you give online, you may use the LINK below, on the “FUND” line you can scroll down to “FIRE ALARM REPLACEMENT” – your gift will go directly to reimbursing our checking account.  Thank you so much for your help.

CHRISTMAS CARDS!

Each Christmas Season we offer you the chance to get Christmas Cards to your friends at Central by delivering them to the Church.  They will be distributed and alphabetized and ready for pick up in the “back hall” (behind the Sanctuary) through the month of December (till Christmas Day).  You can make a monetary donation for this service, which will go directly to our JUBILEE CHRISTMAS Ministry.

Bring your cards/Pick up your cards on these days:
– Saturday, December 5th from 6:0opm-8:00pm, at our CAROLING FOOD DRIVE (10th Street Chapel Entrance)
– Tuesdays (December 8th & 15th) from Noon to 1:00pm (10th Street Chapel Entrance)
– Fridays (December 11th & 18th) from Noon to 1:00pm (10th Street Chapel Entrance)

At all times, and especially at CHRISTMAS, we should be reminded that JESUS was GIVEN TO US as a gift from our FATHER and HIS FATHER – for very specific reasons.

ISAIAH the Prophet foretold the promise of this gift, and why it is important to our everyday lives.  Who we are, as Children of God and Citizens of the Kingdom is wrapped up in the “Names” and “Titles” of JESUS our King.

How does “WHO HE IS” affect “WHO WE ARE”?

Join us at CENTRAL CHRISTIAN in December for the series: A SON IS GIVEN.

JUBILEE CHRISTMAS 2020

Again, this year Central will be helping families at Christmas. We will be giving gifts to 22 children. Each child will receive 4 gifts, 2 from their wish list and 2 outfits of clothing. Each family will receive boxes of food as well as personal hygiene items and cleaning supplies.

If you would like to purchase items contact Sarah Sheler at ssheler@hotmail.com or 765-610-2790. If you would feel more comfortable donating, we have volunteer shoppers.  We will not have a JUBILEE CHRISTMAS TREE with tags this year.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

This year, though not in our Sanctuary, will feature performances old and new from many of our CENTRAL artists from across the years and this year – along with some special things one could only do by video.

Thanks to JOHN HUNTOON and MIKE MEADOWS for continuing their work in making sure despite the circumstances we all have something to celebrate, and celebrate in the most creative of ways!

CHRISTMAS AT CENTRAL is slated to post the weekend of December 12th!

“CHRISTMAS EVE at CENTRAL”
