Introducing Central’s New Media Director: We are happy to announce that Dale Kasperson will be our new director for Central’s worship hour beginning this Sabbath, and Central Study hour on September 13. Dale comes to us highly recommended by Doug Hill, along with years of experience in media production. Dale is husband and father, and is the media director at Trinity Life Center here in Sacramento. We welcome Dale to our media team!
Take Action Now! Central has now officially entered its “Media Ministry” campaign. Beginning September 13 we will be launching our very own media ministry that will continue to develop high-quality, Christ-centered programming (including Central Study Hour and the worship service). We ask for your continued support in helping us develop a robust media crew and fund the new equipment. The goal is for our membership to raise $75,000, which will be matched by existing Central funds. To financially support this endeavor please mark your tithe envelope “Media Ministry” or click here to give online. Thank you for your continued support!
Vegetarian Foods Have Arrived at Your Neighbor Thrift Store (YNTS): Your Neighbor Thrift Store has partnered with the local Adventist Book Center to provide various vegetarian food options for the masses. The food is there and available now. YNTS is open Monday through Thursday from 10 AM to 7 PM, Friday 10 AM to 4 PM, and Sunday 11 AM to 6 PM. You’ll be impressed with the selection.
Also, the thrift store is looking for dedicated helpers to assist them on a regular basis. If you have a good work ethic, can volunteer consistently, enjoy people, and want to share the love of Jesus, please contact Central church office or Buddy Harper directly @ (916) 676-6632.
