SUMMARY:Wednesday Night Bible Study
DESCRIPTION:Join Pastors Peter and Stephanie for the fall’s Bible study on Stories of Home in Scripture. The season begins on October 1 at 6 p.m. This offering is available both in person and online\, so join us in whatever setting is best for you. \nThe next four weeks of Bible study focus on the Stories of Home in the Gospels. Jesus\, in the many places he called home\, reminds us that home is more than a place\, it is a feeling of belonging and community. Join us as we explore a few of the key stories of home in the Gospels. \nJoin us as we read and study the many ways we find our home in community and in Jesus Christ. These Bible studies are created so that you can come in person or online\, every week or when it fits your schedule\, so plan to come whenever you can. \nStudy Guide  \nZoom Link

SUMMARY:Adult Forum
DESCRIPTION:The Sunday Adult Forums will begin on September 14 at 9:30 a.m. The forums will be grounded in conversations that align with Stories of Home. Throughout the year\, Central’s pastors and guest speakers will lead us in conversations about the essential spirit and nature of home in our churches and our culture. What does home mean to you? How are the images and realities of home captured in our theology\, our worship\, and our lives of faith? \nJoin the forums with a curiosity about how your faith and how your church have created the spirit of home for you. \nSunday\, November 9\, 9:30 a.m.\n“Physical Home”\nWe often say that everyone deserves a home. We claim this is a Christian value and we advocate and organize to make sure this holds true for all people. What do we mean by home? What does a biblical idea of home look like? Where do we physically live in the world? And what does our faith have to say about that?

SUMMARY:Worship (Sa)
DESCRIPTION:Saturday evening worship is a contemplative communion service. Whichever pastor is preaching on Sunday\, preaches and leads worship on Saturday night. The service is guided by a contemplative sense: a slower pace\, room for silence\, and a simpler service order. The altar is on the main floor\, and much of the music is led from a piano within the gathered community. The service is generally about 45 minutes long\, with 40-50 people regularly gathering. After worship\, there is a social time with non-alcoholic beverages\, wine\, beer\, and finger food like cheese and crackers\, dip\, and sweets. \nJoin the Livestream

SUMMARY:Fix-it Clinic
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, November 8 is a big day at Central. We are hosting a Hennepin County Fix-It Clinic from noon to 4 p.m. The C3 (Central Cares for Creation) Team has been planning for this event for years and is so excited to finally host! \nFix-It Clinics offer free\, guided assistance from volunteers with repair skills to disassemble\, troubleshoot\, and (hopefully) fix small household appliances\, clothing\, electronics\, mobile devices\, and more. Fix-It Clinics teach valuable troubleshooting and basic repair skills\, build community connections\, and reduce the number of repairable items that are thrown in the trash. \nThe Clinic will take up the entire Great Room and will bring in hundreds of folks. Please consider helping that day (more info in the Spirit as we get closer) or plan on bringing your favorite toaster that just needs a new cord for a little fix-it action.
