In today's Informer is a registration form for kindergarten basketball. (Kindergarten registration is not being done online.) We hope to have enough players to develop one or more coed teams to play in an instructional league with several other area churches.  This will be dependent on the number of players. Kent Jones will be coaching, and we will also need parental involvement - assistant coaches, team moms, etc. Please consider being a part of your child's team by committing to help on the registration form. Once the teams have been established, we will hold a meeting to discuss practice and game scheduling. The registration fee is $100 with a $15 discount when registering by Friday, November 16. Final deadline to register is November 28. The plan is for teams to begin playing in December then continue in January after Christmas break. 

Food for Families Food Drive - New  

Incentive Offered to CDS Students

Ice Cream Party for Class that Collects Most Food 

Central Day School is partnering with Central Learning Center, Central Parent's Day Out and Central Church to collect food for families in our community who are in need.  Central Church Women's Ministry is offering an ice cream sundae party for the CDS class that collects the most food. Here's how it works. The class will receive one point for each food item and each dollar (in cash, check or gift card) that is brought to school. Ten bonus points will be added for each student that brings in all 16 items on the list below!   

In order to keep track of the count of donations for the contest, filled bags or other food items will need to be dropped off in the classroom or in the school office by the end of the school day on November 15. 

Please bring items in a brown paper grocery bag (double bagged) filled with any or all of the non-perishable food items from the list below:

Canned sweet potatoes           Instant Potatoes

Canned Corn                          Canned Green Beans

Canned Chicken Broth            Stuffing Mix 

Brownie or Cake Mix               Canola Oil

Canned Chicken                     Rice

Boxed Macaroni & Cheese       Canned Fruit

Peanut Butter                         Chicken Noodle Soup

Cranberry Sauce                    Box of Crackers

*Other Options: Kroger gift card, check or cash. These will be

used to purchase perishable items for the food bags.  Please send

these in an envelope marked "Food Drive."

Bags will be distributed to families and churches on Sunday, November 18. CDS families are needed to help with the distribution of the food on Sunday, November 18. For further information or to volunteer, please call the Women's Ministries office at (901) 255-8113.

The King will reply, "I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these, brothers (and sisters) of mine, you did it for Me."
