Dear Central Church,

Today we celebrated one of the all-time greats! After 21 years of faithful and exemplary service, we celebrate the retirement of Pam Plummer, our financial secretary. 

Pam’s steady presence, sharp attention to detail, and unwavering integrity have been a tremendous gift to our church. Beyond her professional excellence, Pam has been a true friend to everyone in our office—always ready to help, encourage, and jump in on whatever project needed an extra set of hands. 

Quite simply, our church would not be able to do what God has called us to do without someone like Pam faithfully stewarding our finances and supporting our pastors in their ministry. Through her behind-the-scenes faithfulness, Pam has helped make visible ministry possible, enabling us to serve Christ and our community well. 

We celebrate her life and ministry with deep gratitude, and we thank God for the many years she has devoted to the work of the Lord. Pam, you will be deeply missed, and you will always be part of the Central Church story!

Year-End Giving 
As we approach the end of the year, I’d also like to remind you how meaningful your generosity is to our church’s mission. Year-end, tax-deductible gifts play a significant role in helping us continue “making Christ-like disciples IN our community, FOR our community.” Your giving fuels ministry, changes lives, and allows us to step boldly into the work God has called us to do. Thank you for your continued faithfulness. You can make a gift by clicking here. 

 
Christmas Eve at Central 
I’m especially excited about Christmas Eve! We have an amazing service planned with carols, candlelight, and communion! Join us at 4 or 6pm and be sure to come for the holiday treats in between services. A special brass quintet (approx. 5:15-5:45pm) will be playing all your favorite Christmas carols in the lobby during this time of fellowship. This is a great service to invite a friend!

Until He's Finished,
Pastor Mark
