CENTRAL NEWS & UPDATES
This Sunday
During this Lenten season, we are exploring brief but powerful vignettes from the Gospels, seeking a realistic, behind-the-scenes glimpse into a typical day in Jesus’ earthly ministry. Our prayer is that we will not only better understand his death and resurrection but also be transformed to become more like him. Join us this Sunday at 10 a.m., 11:30 a.m., or 5 p.m. as Jason Harris continues our series A Day in the Life of Jesus with a sermon entitled "The Day Jesus Raised the Dead."
Jesus Reconsidered
Christianity somewhat conveniently offers an unbelievable narrative that, if true, literally changes everything. Which raises the question: Is it possible that Christianity is simply wishful thinking — a framework generated by humans who were (and still are) looking to place their hope in a future that’s better than their reality? Check out the most recent video in our Jesus Reconsidered series, and email us your questions at seniorpastor@centralchurchnyc.org!

"Why We Need the Lord's Prayer"
On Wednesday, March 18, Rev. Dr. Jay Harvey will complete a two-part series exploring the profound implications of the Lord's Prayer for addressing modern concerns of identity, resentment, and mortality. Special attention will be given to how this prayer can be incorporated practically into our daily lives.
Central Chamber Series
Join us on Wednesday, March 26 at 7:30 p.m. in the sanctuary for our fourth Central Chamber Series concert of the season, "Echoes of Elegance." Purchase tickets at centralchamberseries.com.
Congregational Survey
In light of the many changes that have taken place over the past few years, the results of this year's annual congregational survey will be especially helpful to Central's leaders as we seek to understand the unique demographics of our growing congregation and gain information that will shape the church in the coming years. The survey will be open through the end of March, and submissions are anonymous.

Our Mission
Central is committed to building a strong community of faith in Jesus Christ that enables people from diverse backgrounds to experience the transformative power of the gospel through insightful biblical teaching, expressive worship, authentic prayer, and meaningful relationships. At the same time, we aim to provide a setting in which people who are undecided about their religious commitments may freely investigate the claims of Christianity. Together, we strive to serve the people of New York in humility and love so that we might have a positive impact on the world around us.
