Commitment Sunday
Sunday, October 26
8:30 & 10:30 AM • All Services
Sunday, October 26, is our congregation's Commitment Sunday.
Plan now to attend two important events: Sunday morning worship and the reception immediately following worship.
We will follow our regular worship schedule in the Chapel, the Well, and the Sanctuary.
Christian giving is a spiritual practice that allows us to experience the blessings of generosity. The act of giving certainly empowers the church’s mission, but it also blesses the giver as he or she participates in the spiritual gift of generosity. As someone committed to serving God through Central, please plan to attend Commitment Sunday and make your financial commitment as an act of worship.
