Morning Worship - Join us in person or online

Join us this Sunday for worship in person or online to celebrate the fourth Sunday of Advent.  This week we celebrate the love of Advent as we welcome Rachel Smith Childress as our guest preacher. Rachel has been part of the Central family for many years.  We are always grateful to hear from Rachel after her move to Franklin, TN. Rachel grew up as a “preacher’s kid”, primarily in Louisville, Ky. She earned her undergraduate degree at the University of Kentucky. Her graduate work was done at Lexington Theological Seminary where she earned an MA and did some post degree work. After working in the public sector, private sector and higher education, Rachel began her ministry at Lexington Habitat for Humanity in 2006 where she retired as CEO in 2021.   Watch the Stream on Youtube.

Service of Darkness to Light

Join us for a service of darkness to light.  We'll gather for quiet reflection in the midst of a busy season as we light candles and celebrate communion.  You're invited to bring candles from home to light during the service as we watch the light grow before us.

Advent Missions Opportunities

We have several opportunities to help folks in our community and region this Christmas season.  From winter wear to Christmas gifts, there is plenty of need all around.  We're grateful for the chance to support the good work of schools and ministries in our area.

One More Stitch: A Poem By Kurt Snyder

Kurt Snyder read this original poem during our All Saints Service. “Just one more stitch” I heard her say, “Supper’s on, I’m on my way. This quilt ain’t done and it needs to be, For winter’s comin’, soon you’ll see.”

Apr 26 • 11:00 • Imperishable Seed

This week we will think about courage and the courage it takes to wait.  On the heels of the 50th Earth Day, we will also consider creation and our place in God's diverse and beloved community of life.  Thanks to Lelia Midkiff for providing the beautiful watercolor above.

Apr 19 • 11:00 • Why Are We Here?

Normalcy seems to be an idea of the past. Why are we here and what are we to do? These questions are central to the biblical story as well as our current situation. This Sunday, we look back at the work of God through the people in exile. Their isolation and uncertainty are felt by us, and their hope for restoration can help us shape a promising future. Join us this week for a message from Charles Conkin.

Mar 29 • 11:00 • Awaiting Rebirth

Join us from your computers, tablets, phones, and televisions as we celebrate even in the midst of shadows. The image above is a painting by our own Charlotte Blaydes.  She started painting during our watercolor workshop last fall and has already created this beautiful work. While we may be apart, we can still find little hopes and joys scattered about like a bright red cardinal or an evening stroll. This week during our prayer time, we'll invite our children to draw pictures of things they are grateful for.
