Family Chapel This Friday, March 1
with Pastor Matt Surber
Meet and Greet Following the Chapel Program
 We are so excited to have Pastor Matt Surber, Central's Lead Pastor, share a message with our families on Friday, March 1 at 8:30 a.m. in the Worship Center. Family Chapel is a time when parents of students join the entire student body for a special chapel time. Following the chapel parents are invited to join Pastor Matt for coffee and donuts at a "Meet and Greet" in the Worship Center lobby sponsored by the PTF. Parents should drop off your child in car line, per usual, so teachers can take attendance and all students can be accounted for before moving over to the Worship Center. After dropping off your child, park your car and join your school family for a time of worship and a great message from Pastor Matt! |
