As part of our 678 (said “six-seventy eight” our 6th, 7th and 8th grader youth group), we would like to invite you to our food bagging mini-mission project.  In partnership with our Missions Team, this annual event allows us as a church to fulfill God’s mission to the “ends of the earth” right here in Noblesville.

Discipleship Path is a 6-week study for new Christians and for those immersed believers who are desiring to become an active, growing part (member) of the Center Family.    I pray that this study will set the stage for each individual or couple to be connected in avenues of spiritual growth that best meet their needs.  Jane and I are excited to lead this spiritual growth opportunity each Sunday, through February 11, from 9:45 - 10:30 a.m., in Room 201.

We now are in a war.  Not for land or rights or resources, but for the souls of men and women, boys and girls.  The Apostle Paul said, “For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil ru...

Over the past few weeks, we have been contacting those who receive the newsletter by mail to make sure our records are up to date.  In one of these contacts, we got a note back from a lovey couple who used to attend.  They moved away yet still read our bi-weekly newsletter.  In the note it read:

"Getting your newsletter is like getting a letter from home."

I was touched by the fact that this faithful reader found community, hope, and connection here.  And cares enough to continue to read...
