THIS IS A CHURCH FOR EVERYONE

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."

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!

Interested in becoming a member of Central? Register now for our next Discovery and Foundations membership class on Sunday, May 3 from 1-4 p.m. at the church. The first part of the class is designed to orient you to Central and provide you with information about our mission, core values, and philosophy of ministry, while the second part is designed to explore in more detail Central's theological convictions and our philosophy of worship.

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.

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.

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.
