Rapha Yard Sale Saturday, April 25 @ Connect Center Are you saving your lightly used items to donate?
The 2025 Year in Review report is finished. The report is available on Central Linktree , in the Central App (under bulletin), and on our Central Website home page. Hard copies are also available at the Welcome Center.
We are getting very close on the bathrooms in the Connect Center. New tile is down and looks great, painted, fixtures being installed. We’re getting excited. There are still no bathrooms available in the Connect Center, but VERY soon. For now, continue to use the bathrooms in the NextGen House or Main Building. You’ll be seeing pictures soon, as the work is completed.
Our Capital Campaign, called Pass the Baton, is fully underway. The main items that we are targeting are: - Main Building Bathroom Renovation (top priority) Estimates received, contracts being negotiated, permits are next… - Main Worship Space Renovation - A/C Unit Replacements (unit #1 one will be operational this month) - Mortgage Payoff You can continue to give online or in-person. If you want to make a pledge for the campaign, you can do that on the website - https://centralstpete.com/pass-the-baton
So far, our people have donated and pledged more than $500,000. We are more than one third of the way to our target and still progressing. It is a great start toward our $1.5 million goal but we need to keep this campaign at our forefront. These projects are needed to serve our current partners and will also help us prepare for future growth. Easter would be a great time to make that extra donation to Pass the Baton!
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.
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 park at Northwest Park on Sunday morning. It will be a great help with parking for our many Visitors every Sunday if you can use one of our beautiful Shuttle Vans. Our service times (8, 9:30, & 11am) still allow for plenty of time to shuttle.
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 all of our staff as they work diligently in their ministries. We are blessed to have such a talented staff and are thankful to the Lord for bringing them to us. We are seeking a new Student Minister at this time. Please pray that the Lord will bring us the right person for Central. Pray that we will be open and receptive to the Lord’s plan for this ministry.
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.
Feel free to reach out to your Elder or any Elder with any questions or concerns you may have. The Elders are listed below with the partners in their group, by last name.
