CONSTRUCTION: Construction is progressing at a slower than expected pace and the completion date is being discussed with Dudley Construction to see what we can do to stay close to the projected completion date of late October or early November. Weather days are always included in project schedules and we have certainly had a few of these in the last several weeks. However, we will be discussing ways to recover time so that we can have move-in before January 2017.

YEAR END GIVING: Giving to the REACH is not at $3.8 M on our way to the next milestone of $4.0 M. Our need and project cost is still $13.7 M. If you are new to Central or have not yet begun to make ongoing gifts above your tithe to the Building Fund, we ask that you pray about what God would have you give for this important family project.

 BRICK PAVER NAMING PROGRAM: In late March or April 2017, we will be launching an exciting Brick Paver Naming Program to allow an opportunity for families to honor and memorialize family members and friends. It will be a permanent recognition program that will last for years to come. The extra funding will allow us to provide the indoor and outdoor children’s playground equipment to meet the needs of our families and children, as well as an outreach to the community. 

STILL GROWING: Somehow and even with the overcrowded preschool and children’s rooms, God is providing continued growth. We are seeing many local visitors with small children who are seeking a church to provide the spiritual needs of their family. When God’s Word is shared from preschool to Legacy Adults, God reaches people through our ministries and He is proving faithful.
