DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wanted to sing with the Central Choir but found it difficult to commit to a full season? The summer pop-up choir offers a flexible way to participate without an ongoing rehearsal schedule. On Sunday\, June 14\, July 26\, and August 23\, participants will gather at 9:30 a.m. to learn accessible\, well-prepared music and then share it at the 10:30 a.m. worship. This is an excellent opportunity to experience singing with the choir community without a long-term commitment. For questions or additional information\, please contact Central Choir Director Joe Osowski.

SUMMARY:Vacation Bible School (VBS)
DESCRIPTION:Starlight\, starbright – who’s behind those lights so bright? \nThis summer’s VBS theme will focus on the night skies. Exploring creation\, we will turn our imaginations toward the stars and read Bible stories that call our attention to the twinkling lights in the sky. While the Earth has changed throughout history\, the skies at night have largely remained the same\, at least to our eyes. God speaks of the stars to Abraham and Job\, and the wisemen are guided to baby Jesus by the Star of Bethlehem. \nAll children ages three to twelve are invited to this year’s VBS Sundays! So\, mark your calendars now for June 14\, July 12\, and August 16 from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. \nRegister now by emailing Kari Colchin or Pastor Stephanie.
