PASTOR APPRECIATIONOctober is Pastor appreciation month. We are so very grateful for Rev. Jennie Williams,
Rev. Chase Burns, Rev. Virginia Brown and Rev. Lindsey Russell. We encourage you to send an email or note of appreciation to our pastors sharing how much we value them here at Central. There are baskets with note cards for you to share and leave notes in both the CAC lobby and the Sanctuary Narthex. We love our pastors! BEER AND HYMNSBeer and Hymns October theme will be Beers and Horns to support the future of this amazing NWA organization that fosters community and gives local charities a platform for grassroots fundraising. Join us October 19 at Tontitown Winery. For more information on
Beer and Hymns, check out their website on ways to engage with our mission partner. CCA YOUNG AT ART FUNDRAISEROur Central Children's Academy is hosting a silent auction fundraiser at the Garden Room on Dickson Street on Thursday, November 13 @5:30 pm. Proceeds will help us install artificial turf for the CCA playground, to make the fun a little safer! If you
would like to help donate and/or attend the Young at Heart CCA Fall Fundraiser, please reach out to Kari Horton for more information. We would love to see you there! SOCKTOBERAs the weather gets colder, many of our neighbors are in need of something small that makes a big difference - a warm, clean pair of new socks. Join us this Socktober in collecting new socks of all sizes for men, women, and children in our local community. Socks are
the most requested and least donated items at shelters, so this Socktober drop off a new pair of socks in the white laundry baskets in the CAC or SMB buildings at Central. Let's continue to work together to experience and share the love of Christ in NWA! |
MAGDALENE SERENITY HOUSEOur mission partner, Magdalene Serenity House, is seeking financial support due to a federal grant not being renewed this year due to lack of available funding. This grant would help aid in supporting a clinical psychologist to be on staff to help work
directly with individual residents on meeting their goals which is vital to achieving the mission of Magdalene Serenity House. Your support helps these women in need and continues to ignite and empower our local community. If you are able to help, please use the QR code or this link to donate. |

IT'S NOT COMPLICATED: STRANGER THINGSIn this week's epiosde of It's Not Complicated, we draw parallels between Judges 16:18–30, where Samson sacrifices himself to defeat the Philistines, and the movie The Matrix, where Neo gives his life to save humanity. They explore themes of self-sacrifice, chosen
identity, and inner strength that transcend physical limitations. Tune in for a fun, thought-provoking take on how pop culture and the Bible intersect in surprising ways. You can check out previous episodes here! Or find it on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or Youtube. New Podcast Topics: Share Your
Ideas!As we plan our January podcast, we are looking for the questions that don't have easy answers. What topics have been on your mind lately? What difficult or thought provoking questions would you love to hear us explore? Email us and we would love to take your suggestions. |
