On Sunday, July 27th at both 9 and11 am services, we will have a Christmas in July theme. Bring
a friend, and let’s proclaim: Joy to the World—in any season! As part of our Christmas in July celebration, we invite you to bring a Christmas sized offering to help us prepare for Fall Kick off events. As of June 2025, our offering gifts have outpaced our 2024 giving by nearly $300,000. This is an incredible testimony to the faithfulness and generosity of each of you, and the powerful momentum of our church community. Historically, Q3 (July - September) is our lowest giving quarter. It's
also the time when we host many important fall events like Back to School Bash, Trunk or Treat, Confirmation and welcoming new U of A Wesley college students. On this Christmas in July, please prayerfully consider giving a bold gift in person or online so that we can continue in all the amazing things God has planned for us in the coming months here at Central.
