celebrating the legacy of love this mother's day

This Mother's Day, we celebrate the mothers and mother figures of Central United Methodist Church--past, present and future!

A Celebration from the Past:  At the 2018 Mother's Day Tea, Central youth were asked to describe their mothers...take a look by clicking the link below.

We send our deepest love to our youth whose mothers are resting in heaven.

Central "LIVE" Worship ExperienceS

VIRTUAL WORSHIP AVAILABLE ON:

Join us each Sunday for a time of praise, Word and spiritual fellowship. Our worship experiences are broadcast live on our YouTube channel and live-streamed on our Facebook page.

At Central, we practice the "Six Marks of Discipleship:" daily prayer, Bible reading, weekly worship, Christian service, relationships that encourage spiritual growth, and giving in the spirit of generosity.

We look forward to seeing you weekly in worship!

Lectionary Message (Fourth Sunday of Easter):  "An old song, “Spring, up O Well!” reminds us that the river of life flows in us and out of us into the world. This week, we celebrate the living water that nourishes us and the world when we share it with those around us." (umcdiscipleship.org)

What is HARAMBEE?

The conference is held annually to help youth develop their spiritual, leadership and interpersonal skills. In doing so, youth will begin to develop relationships, connect with each other, and learn how to bridge the gap from generation to generation. The Conference will also help youth, as well as adults, explore what it really means to pull together and work together in Christian love. Come to work, play, sing, and build meaningful relationships with God and each other.
