Align Central

Sunday Community Meal
We gather each Sunday after the 10:30 a.m. worship in the Great Room to share a meal. The menu changes week to week. On holiday weekends, coffee, cookies, and lemonade are served instead of a meal.
Summer on the Plaza
Summer on the Plaza happens several times each summer, when guest carillonneurs visit Central to perform a concert, and we invite food trucks (or provide treats) for all to enjoy.
