Meg Jiunnies, are grateful you’ve chosen to make Central a part of your day!

Sermon Note The apostle Thomas gets a bad rap as “Doubting Thomas,” but history and tradition tell a different story. Our doubts and moments of weakness don’t define us; what defines us is the way we respond to those moments.
