Why I Love Central - Christi Gabbard

I love Central because it strives to use our strengths for service.  I feel so honored to not only be asked to be a deacon, and then chair, but to be allowed to write and direct our Christmas musical last year, teach Adult Sunday school, and sometimes play the piano in worship and other special services.  I feel that my input and voice is valued, but not in a way where I am asked to do everything, or in a way where my voice is valued more than others...

Everyone Has Something to Give

I have been so pleased with the children’s Sunday school curriculum and program. In fact, a few years ago Aiden would be so disappointed if we didn’t make it to Sunday school for some reason. Aiden loves the opportunities to create and learn in a safe space. As a mom, I love that the curriculum teaches children how to be still and quiet enough that they are able to take in lessons about both the Bible and our church year.

Oct 13 • 11:00 • Church in the Foyer

This Sunday, we look forward to celebrating one of the best, if not the very best gifts in our congregation:  Each Other!  Our community of faith is filled with wonderful people who give thanks, care for one another, practice humble faith and sincerely follow Christ.  You can see this mutual care and support each Sunday in our welcoming foyer, and we will spend a little time highlighting how this space serves our calling as a family of friends and servants.

Oct 6 • 11:00 • Carried Along to Jesus

We look forward to Rev. Dr. Dennis Johnson leading us in worship on Oct. 6. Having served over 40 years in pastoral leadership in metropolitan Chicago and Charleston, W.V., he and his wife Holly have retired in Lexington to be close to their daughter Megan and family who live in Harrodsburg. A key feature of his ministry focused on congregational worship and spiritual formation through maintaining and living out our Baptist identity and heritage. This commitment has been integrated with his doctoral-level study and ongoing professional interest in the life and work of Baptist social ethicist and theologian Walter Rauschenbusch. Dennis has recently finished a book on daily reflections using the writings of Rauschenbusch called To Live in God. He will be leading us in both the 8:45 and 11 a.m. services.
