SUMMARY:Reconciling in Christ Weekend
DESCRIPTION:In 2019 Central became a Reconciling in Christ congregation. The Reconciling in Christ (RIC) Program is a public way for faith communities to see\, name\, celebrate\, and advocate for people of all sexual orientations\, gender identities\, and gender expressions in the Lutheran church. Reconciling in Christ (RIC) Sunday is an annual worship celebration created to share in the commitment our organization and partnering faith communities have in the ongoing work of welcome\, inclusion\, celebration\, and advocacy for LGBTQIA2S+ people in the life of the church. We celebrate RIC Weekend at Central June 20-22 this year. Watch for ways we live our faith out loud.

SUMMARY:June OWLS Trip
DESCRIPTION:Trip to Guthrie Theatre for Come and Away\nWe’ll take a quick trip over to the Guthrie for this musical\, inspired by true events.

We will have lunch at Christos prior to the show. Yes\, we know that this event technically takes place in July (barely)\, but we’ve got something else planned for later in July as well! \n You must have registered in advance for this event in order to attend! \nSign-up at the Welcome Desk: June 7\, 14\, and 21\nCost: $35\nSchedule: \n\nBus leaves Central at 10:45 a.m.\nLunch at Christos at 11 a.m.\nRide the bus to the Guthrie at noon.\nPerformance at 1 p.m.\nReturn to Central at 3:30 p.m.

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.

SUMMARY:Pop-up Choir Rehearsal
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.

SUMMARY:Pop-up Choir Rehearsal
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.
