Epiphany Sunday (White)
Prayer Focus: God’s Guidance and Direction
Welcome to worship at Central!
In the name of Jesus Christ, welcome to worship at Central where it is our mission to follow Jesus by loving God and loving our neighbors. Our clergy, Rev. Thomas Smith, Rev. Dr. Ann Kovan, and Rev. Meg Jiunnies, are grateful you’ve chosen to make Central a part of your day today. If it is your first time worshiping with us, please visit the rear Greeters Table and fill out a Connect Card where you will receive a gift from the church. Once again, welcome!
Sermon Note
Jesus’ birth wasn’t status quo. When he came, he instantly shook up things—socially, ethnically, religiously, and politically.
Lead Central
All members of our lay leadership will come together to launch the new year on Sunday, January 12 at 12:00 PM in the Davis Christian Life Center. We will have a light lunch, discuss Central’s overall ministry plans, and take a group photo. It’s an important time to connect, set schedules, and think through goals. All teams and committees will have their first meeting of the year following the large group meeting. We hope to see you there!

Connect & Refresh
(Offering one another signs of reconciliation and love within worship is an ancient Christian practice. This is a time to greet others, both familiar and new, whether in your seat, at a table, or while refilling your cup and plate. The countdown on the screen will alert you when it’s time to return to your seats for the next act of worship.)
