Why I Love Central - Gwen Hart
As we continue our "Why I Love Central" series Gwen Hart, one of our deacons, shares with us why Central has become a home for her... in a poem.
Why I love Central; a broad subject for sure So much beyond what is in the brochure As Elizabeth Barrett Browning wrote back in the day How do I love thee; let me count the ways
Come rain or shine or wind or hail Don and Thomas greet without fail High fives and hugs and a how are you Makes every Sunday a special tadoo

My Sunday School class; The Open Door Where one tiny subject turns into much more Discussions with so many points of view Sharing of feelings and belly laughs too
We can share our concerns and even a tear It’s a comfort zone speaking without any fear Jeff is so great with his ideas for lessons Gives latitude for a great deal of expressions
Not a Sunday goes by without Ralph at the ready Bulletin in hand and that smile is rock steady Our choir is so talented and can belt out a tune I could listen to them all afternoon!
Raleigh’s prayers are so genuine and true Just what I need way in the back pew And speaking of that, we have quite the crew Friendships have grown; both old and new
We were members but relatively new When we lost Dad; so hard to get through The outpouring of love from so many of you Genuine caring, kind words and food too
The close circle of friends that Mom has made So fun to hear of their escapades From lunches and knitting and lest we forget Those wonderful ladies of The Lafayette
Being a Flocker has been such fun Life-long friendships have begun We’ve solved the world’s problems while flocking around And in each of our homes, flamingos abound!
I love that this church made a crazy decision And made me a Deacon; who had that vision? Just proves that this place has a sense of humor But it sure means a lot to this Baby Boomer
Our Youth continue to learn and grow Some are now driving! Say it ain’t so! I love that my nephews have such a group Charles does a great job leading that troop!
So many things that Aaron can do Writing and singing and the guy knits too! And of course, the guy running the show Mark, our Leader, the one in the know
His knees have gone bad and he can’t ride a bike, But he has other qualities, we can’t help but like He’s there for us when we need extra care With a hug, encouragement, and always a sweet prayer
Now you can see why I love this place It’s everyone here who embodies God’s Grace So happy that we all found each other And we can continue to love one another
