This fall, we’re launching Central at McDougall, with weekly services beginning October 25! After a summer of significant renovations, there’s one more big job to do: get McDougall sparkling.
Join us for a McDougall Cleaning Day on Saturday, September 5, from 9:00 a.m.- 1:00 p.m. We’ll be dusting, vacuuming, and cleaning throughout the building as we prepare to open the doors for church, concerts, community events, and everything else that will fill McDougall this fall.
If you can, bring a bucket, rags, and Dawn dish soap (please no other cleaning chemicals). Shop vacs are especially welcome!

Join us for 10:29! Beginning September 9th, we will gather together on Wednesdays at 10:29am in the Foyer at Connors Hill.

Care Visiting Team Interest Invitation
We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If it is serving, then serve. . . If it is to encourage, then give encouragement . . . If it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully. Romans 12:6-8
Do you have a passion for serving, encouragement and mercy? Do you have a compassionate heart for seniors?
At Central, we value people of all stages including the aging and the isolated. Many aging friends can struggle with purpose as they experience transitions like retirement, aging issues and health struggles. It is also easy to forget about those who can no longer regularly join us.
But we want seniors to know that God isn’t done with them. God hasn’t forgotten them. We want to participate in God’s loving purposes by intentionally reaching out to the lonely and those isolated because of aging issues, illness and loss.
So, we’re developing care visiting teams at each of our sites. Team members connect regularly with seniors in need of encouragement and prayer. We go to homes, care facilities or hospitals. We experience Jesus releasing those He’s gifted to bring His hope and love to the isolated.
If this opportunity interests you, please join us for the Care Visiting Team Information Seminar on Wednesday, Sept 9 at 7 PM (at our Connor's Hill site) to discuss this possibility. All prospective team members will need to complete an application process. We will provide teaching, resources and on the job training.
Please RSVP HERE.
Thanks so much for your interest!
Sincerely,
Tom Anderst - Pastor of Seniors
