You can see the work being done for new Men’s Bathrooms in our 2-Story building, progress continues. Work is expected to be completed by mid July.
We are making offers to a new Executive Pastor and an Associated Pastor – Communications & Connections this week. We are also interviewing for an Associate Pastor – Student Ministry.
Our Parking & Shuttle Ministries are looking for more volunteers to assist in making coming to Central a pleasant experience for our partners and visitors.
Contact Martin Mickey martin_mickey@hotmail.com for Parking Ministry or

Your help is needed in both ministries - it’s a great way to get connected and an excellent way to serve fellow partners here at Central.
Our Safety Team could also use some additional members. Do you have any law enforcement or medical experience that you’d like to put to use serving the Kingdom here at Central? If so, contact Rob Breese pewter55@msn.com .
Of course, as our attendance continues to grow, our Children’s Ministry grows with it. If you want to volunteer to pour into our children’s spiritual foundation, contact Laura@centralstpete.com .

We have so many visitors - some new, some repeat - showing up every Sunday morning. What a blessing!! God brings them to us; it’s our job to make them feel welcome and share the good news. Don’t forget to invite all our visitors back to worship with us again. Also, invite them to your class or small group. Let’s help them get connected.
Please continue to submit prayer requests on our Connection Cards, Linktree, or through our Central App. You can also stop by our Prayer Room at any time on Sunday morning to submit a prayer or meet with a prayer warrior. We are a church that believes in the power of prayer and we see it working every day in our lives.
Be bold and share your Jesus story with someone who doesn’t yet know Him. Your FIRST testimony to anyone is the joy that they see on your face and in your heart. Let them see Jesus’ love in you, then they will want to know more.
Please continue to pray for our staff as they work diligently in their ministries. We are thankful to the Lord for our staff’s faithfulness. This is a difficult time of transition as we seek to fill several positions. Please pray that the Lord will bring us the right people for Central. Pray that we will be open and receptive to the Lord’s plan for all our ministries.
YOU are a blessing to Central in so many ways. The Lord has brought you here to be a part of His kingdom work.
Central partners, we appreciate your heart for worship, giving, caring, and serving and are grateful to God for you. We love your desire to be devoted disciples of Jesus.
