Church Picnic

Join us for a picnic at Shillito Park.  We'll be just a few minutes from church at shelter #2.  You can drop by after worship to share a meal and catch up with friends old and new.  In addition to the fellowship and food, Jane Tatum and her band, Laurel Branch, will share from their wonderful repertoire of folk tunes.  The church will supply hotdogs and hamburgers for our cookout and you are invited to bring a side dish or dessert if you can.

Baptist Seminary of Kentucky To Reside at Central Baptist Church

In last week’s special called business meeting, the church unanimously approved the motion to enter int o a three year lease agreement with the Baptist Seminary of Kentucky.  They will be leaving their presence at Georgetown College and will move the work they did there to our facility. We have designated 7 rooms for them that will serve for administrative and faculty offices along with shared space agreements for other functions including classroom instruction.  They will mainly be using the dedicated entrance once used by the Childcare with occupancy scheduled to mid-summer.

Community Connections with Laura Hartman (video)

We had a great discussion with Laura Hartman, Family Resource Director at Squires Elementary.  We've been working with Laura for several years to help supply food bags to children and families, and we're currently taking food donations to help out with food bags through the end of the year.

April's Book of the Month

For book group this month, please join me in exploring a few short stories by Karen Blixen, who primarily wrote using the nom de plume Isak Dinesen.  We’ll be considering her book Anecdotes of Destiny. I’d love to see what you think. Honestly, I’m curious to see what I think so many years after I first encountered Blixen’s work, and I can’t wait to hear other folks’ viewpoints as we discuss some fantastical, strange, and also dated stories.  That said, I can’t look away.

Passport Kids Camp

The children of Central are going to summer camp this year form June 21-24. We are participating in Passport Kids camp at Berea College. PASSPORTkids is a 4-day, 3-night children’s camp filled with fun faith-building programming and hands-on missions education. It is for students who have completed 3rd – 6th grade. At camp, your students will discover God’s love and practice being followers of Jesus through an active schedule of Bible studies, missions education, recreation, and worship. As group leaders, you’ll be able to focus on engaging with your children without taking on the burden of planning and logistics. The cost of camp is $300. Scholarships are available.

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.
