Central 101

Have you ever wondered... Why is the United Methodist symbol a Cross and Flame? How did we come to be called United Methodists, anyway? Why do the colors in the sanctuary change from time to time? What is Central's mission and how can I be part of it? What are spiritual gifts and how are they employed? If so, this is the class for you!

Rev. Josh Blackwelder, Rev. Will Malambri, and Meg Jiunnies will lead conversations about the United Methodist Church, Worship, Central, and Spiritual Gifts during the 10 o'clock hour in Conference Room #164/165 on Sundays, February 24 - March 17. There's something for everyone from long-time members to first-time visitors.
