December 8, 2024 Second Sunday of Advent (Blue) Prayer Focus: Peace 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 John the Baptist is our signal that the in-between time is NOT time to nurse the status quo but shake it up. Following Jesus requires repentance—a change of direction. Repentance should result in a new life of following Christ in tangible ways. Advent is the time we pause and prepare for the following.
