We invite everyone to join us for our annual Christmas Eve Lessons and Carols Candlelight Service. It will begin at 6 p.m. and Communion will be served. We hope to see everyone there to celebrate the birth of our savior Jesus Christ!
A Thrill of Hope
Mark your calendar for this Sunday, December 19th, when the Central Presbyterian Church Choir will present A Thrill of Hope by Joel Raney for our annual Christmas Cantata. “A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices!” Nothing captures the awe and wonder of Christmas better than that single phrase from John Dwight’s “O Holy Night,” and it serves as the cornerstone of this Christmas musical. A Thrill of Hope looks at the birth of Christ from four distinct vantage points – celebrating the Hope he brought, the Love he showed, the Peace he promised, and the Joy of Emmanuel, God with us, forevermore! This Arrangement is filled with an array of familiar carols and hymns, all arranged in a variety of moods and musical styles to create a riveting re-telling of the Christmas story! Don’t miss this performance as your choir has been working exceptionally hard to present this message in song and liturgy for the Christmas season!
Christmas Reminders
The CPC Youth Christmas play will be performed on Sunday, December 6th, at 6pm. Also, if you missed out on our Centennial Christmas Ornaments back in April, We still have them available. The price is $8 and a display stand is available as well for $3. If you’re interested please contact the Church office. In the picture above the ornament is blue, but it is actually Purple. Also, on the actual ornament it says “Est. 1910” under Pine Bluff, AR
Moravian Love Feast
Everyone is invited to join us on Sunday, November 28th, at 6 p.m. for the Moravian Love Feast. The Moravian Love Feast is an annual tradition here at Central, one which has grown and developed over the years.
