The Executive Board of Central Christian is calling a Special Meeting of the Congregation for the purpose of considering the Board’s recommendation for an Intentional Interim Pastor. The meeting will be held in the sanctuary on Wednesday, May 30th at 7:00 P.M. The Search Committee has spent several months considering input from the congregation, reviewing applications and interviewing candidates for the Intentional Interim Pastor position.
The Executive Board on May 15, 2012 voted unanimously to recommend approval of the candidate and to call this meeting. Following opening comments by the Executive Board Moderator, the Chair of the Search Committee will introduce the candidate to the congregation. The candidate will then preach a short sermon.
Attendees will then be asked to vote by secret ballot whether we should extend a call to the candidate. The votes will be counted and the results announced at the meeting.
We invite and encourage all members of Central Christian to attend this important event for our future. We ask for your continued prayers as Central travels this journey.

Please come to an information session in the sanctuary on Wednesday, May 16th from 6:30 – 8:00 PM. The Rev. Dr. LaTaunya M. Bynum from the Regional office will provide information on the Search and Call Process, specifically the intentional interim period and calling an Intentional Interim Pastor. The committee is well into the search process and this information session is an important part in the next stage of our journey. We hope everyone will take this opportunity to learn about the purpose of the intentional interim period and what our congregation should expect once we call an Intentional Interim Pastor. For an intentional interim period to be successful, the congregation needs to be open to studying its history and discerning God’s call for the congregation before calling a settled pastor. Clergy who answer the call to serve as an Intentional Interim receive specific training that prepares them to facilitate these processes.
Everyone is encouraged to attend this information session. There will be a question and answer period following Rev. Bynum’s remarks.

Central Christian is honored to have Rev. Chad Penhorwood as our guest minister this Sunday. Rev.
Penhorwood, ordained pastor in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) is graduated from Lexington
Theological Seminary alongside my wife, Rev. Kara Swartz. They have a wonderful daughter, Sophia, who
keeps them on our toes and is the joy of their life. Rev. Penhorwood served as Youth Director/Advisor in
many different congregations/denominations over the years, worked in Rwanda, Africa with the Methodist
Church as a worker and missionary and was called to Douglass Blvd Christian Church in Louisville, KY as an
Associate/Youth Minister. He finished his seminary career as Student Senior Minister at Moorefield
Christian Church. Growing up in Ohio, the Christian Church in Ohio’s camp program, Camp Christian, was
incredibly influential in his life. That is where he met his wife, and found his calling to be a pastor within
the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).
