• As a staff, we want to pray for you! One way we would like to do this is by creating a photo wall in our front office at Central Campus so that we are often reminded of your lovely faces throughout the week, and prompted to pray for you. Our admin team is working hard on making this happen, but they've encountered a problem: we're missing photos! If you haven't yet, please add your photo to our online church directory. The video instructions for how to access that are linked in the show notes of today's episode. If you have any trouble doing that, you can also email one to [email protected] or drop a physical copy by the front office.
