New Sermon Series: 3 Simple Rules

Beginning January 11, we’ll journey together through John Wesley’s Three Simple Rules—a timeless guide for faithful living rooted in Scripture and love of neighbor.

Over three weeks, we’ll explore what it means to Do No Harm, Do Good, and Stay in Love with God, grounding these practices in worship. Together, we’ll reflect on how these simple—but powerful—rules shape our discipleship, our congregational care, and the way we live out our faith in the world.

Join us as we seek a faith that is thoughtful, active, and deeply connected to God and one another.

Check out our latest ministry updates!

Central’s Circle of Prayer group meets on Thursday mornings both In-Person and by Zoom. A ministry of caring, concerns and joys submitted are prayed over and followed-up upon.

If you feel called to care for people in this way, please contact Pastor Lisa and join this dedicated group of prayers.

If you need prayerful support, please make your request by clicking on the Prayer Request Prompt on Central’s website or by filling out a pew card. YOU are important to us!

United Women in Faith Meetings

Deborah Circle | TUE, JAN 13 | 10:00 AM

Deborah Circle meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 10:00 AM in a member’s home. All are welcome.

At our January 13 meeting, we will introduce the new United Women in Faith program book, Mapping Our Way Forward in Times of Change and Uncertainty. We will explore how to stay grounded and find balance in God’s Word through our history, especially as we prepare to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day on January 19.

Our February 10 meeting will continue the story, with a particular focus on the history of home missioners and deaconesses, as we have members of our circle who have served in these roles.

For questions, please contact Susan Snell at ssnell123@bellsouth.net.
