Admission will be monetary donations (as able) to the Kettering Backpack Program or nonperishable food items for our Food Pantry. But, to make this event a success we need your help. We need at least 16 volunteers to:

Operate a hayride (2)

Man car trunks for the trunk-or-treat (8)

We also need people to loan/donate: A riding lawnmower/trailer for the hayride, hay bales, candy. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, if you can help, let the Keaton’s or Melissa Moody know. This is a great way to reach our neighboring community, family and friends while raising funds and food for two very worthy causes.

Kick-Off Sunday: September 11, 2011

CCC-Ket Webmaster — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 20:21:13 +0000

On Sunday, September 11th, we will officially begin our church year. Our choirs will perform for the first time of the new season, our youth groups will begin meeting again on Sunday evening, and we will kick-off many new opportunities for fellowship, learning, and spiritual growth. This year, however, is a little different than usual as it is the tenth anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001. As a way of commemorating this sad anniversary, our Laudate Ringers will perform a special anthem accompanied by a moving slide show. Also, Rev. Turner will preach the sermon he delivered on the Sunday following 9/11. The message of hope, resilience, and God’s love remains as strong and as powerful today as it was in the midst our grief and shock. We look forward to great year at Central Christian Church!

Over the weekend of July 15-17, the Chi Rho and CYF Sunday School class participated in a 30-hour. In all, a total of 12
youth participated. From Central, we had Mila Wiedeman, Emily Giles, Aaron Moody, Johnathan Garybush, Emily Aebker, Annika Aebker, Sabrina Bucy, Kirsten Melton and Joey Ritter. In addition, Emily and Annika Aebker brought
several friends who also participated: Martha, Shannon and Megan. As a result of collecting sponsorships and donations prior to the fast, these amazing youth collected $2,156.50, which will be divided between the food pantry and the World Outreach ministry. A huge thank you also goes to Doug Pence for staying with the youth on Saturday night, as well as to Ben Williams and Doug for providing a wonderful breakfast on Sunday morning. Congratulations youth, on a job well done! Your efforts will help a huge number of people in our community who would otherwise go hungry.

Our Chi Rho and CYF Sunday school classes will participate in a 30-hour fast starting Friday night at the church. Their goal is to raise awareness of the plight of the hungry in our community (and around the world). They are accepting donations and sponsorships, with the proceeds being donated directly to Central’s food pantry and the World Outreach ministry. As of Sunday, they have raised close to $1500 towards their $5,000 goal. There is still time to pledge your support, as they will be in church Sunday after their fast to collect any additional donations. You can also stop by any time on Saturday with a donation. Please keep them all in your prayers this week as they prepare for this event. Please contact Melissa Moody with any questions about participation, sponsorship or donations.
