We hear every year at this time about the busyness of the season. We try to remind ourselves to slow down and not miss anything - to make sure that the reason for the season is celebrated. We aren't the only ones who have needed such a reminder. Join us as we see how the distant take the time to make a journey to worship, but those close, well, they're busy with other plans. Recapture a little of the wonder of the season!

Have you ever sent out a birth announcement? God did. Most people tend to invite close friends and family. God sent the birth announcement of his son to some of the most unlikely of characters. Join us this Christmas Season as we are reminded all are welcome to behold the Christ Child. Good news has come; the Savior has been given for all people. Now, go tell it... everywhere.

As you sat around the Thanksgiving table this week, I hope it was filled with laughter and love. I hope the phrase that we've all heard countless times rung true, we have so much to be thankful for. Come join us with family and friends as we discover just how true that phrase is. We will look at a thanksgiving song that leads us to reflect on the very nature and character of God. It is a powerful call to remember God's graciousness towards his people. God never forsakes or forgets us. You will be sure to leave with a thankful heart.

There are seasons of life. One season we all encounter is a season for restoration. If you have lost the joy in your relationship, if you carry the weight of a silent sin, or if you need help counseling someone else navigating some of life's stormy seas, then join us at Central this week. We will be celebrating our restoration by studying Psalm 51. Many in the early church referred to it as "The Psalm of Psalms." Let this song lift your soul this season.

The Psalms have a way of encouraging people through every season of life. As we continue our theme for the year of being a transformational church, we will focus on three important Psalms. These songs teach a transformed people how to relate to God in the ups and downs of life. We've all been through seasons where we need wisdom, restoration, and hope - the greatest poetry ever written is sure to challenge and encourage you this season. So come, bring a friend, and enjoy these songs that will stir your soul.

The gospel in the early church impacted the lives of people in unexpected ways everywhere it went. In this sermon, we see the gospel's unbelievable impact on the most unlikely of people.

Have you ever been taken out of your comfort zone? We've reached a turning point in our study of Acts. The church is moving from where she was established in Jerusalem and is now being scattered throughout all Judea and Samaria. The catalyst that pushed Christianity beyond Jerusalem's borders was persecution. What does it take to get us to step outside our comfort zone?
