Dear Central Church,

Merry Christmas! 
 
We had an amazing service last night celebrating “good news of great joy that shall be for all people!” I hope this day is filled with joy as you receive the greatest gift that has ever been given, the gift of God’s one and only Son! 
 
As we look forward to the new year, let’s resolve together to share the gift of Jesus with a friend! Think about people in your life you can invite to Central in the upcoming year! 
 
Remember, we have 1 service only this Sunday at 10:30, and Life Groups will not be meeting. 
 
Our friend, Dr. Clark Armstrong, will be preaching. Clark is a retired pastor and missionary, and we are delighted to have him and Connie in our congregation. Retirement is more of a “refocus” for Clark, as he is serving the Kansas City District as the liaison for the “Love Your Neighbor” initiative connected to the 2027 General Assembly. You will be blessed by his ministry! 
 
May God continue to bless you and your family in this Christmas season!

Until He's Finished,
Pastor Mark
