Rally Day: Sept. 14

There is so much to celebrate this Rally Day! In addition to our traditional Sunday School kick-off BBQ, we welcome back the Motet Choir to our morning worship service, and Rev. Adam Gorman will be at our pulpit for the first time as our new senior pastor. Rally Day marks the beginning of our program year. There will be a church-wide party on the lawn with inflatables and games for the kids, a BBQ lunch, and – as always – root beer floats! Join in the fun starting at 10am.

New Pastor Called: Rev. Adam Gorman

With overwhelming support, the congregation voted at the congregational meeting on June 22 to call Rev. Adam Gorman as Senior Pastor of Central Presbyterian Church starting September 2, 2025. Rev. Adam, who grew up in Westfield, NJ, comes to us from the Brick Church in New York City where he served as Associate Pastor for 14 years. He and his wife, Holly, and children Wells, and Hope, will move into the manse in August, and Rev. Adam will begin work on September 2, with his first time at the pulpit planned for Rally Day, September 14. Please make the Gorman family welcome!

Toddler Time: Starting September 10

Toddler Time offers play-based experiences through story time, songs, crafts, games, and free play to foster social interaction, creative innovation, and joy. Classes, offered on Wednesdays at 9:30 a.m. starting September 10, are co-created by local parents and community members who specialize in child and language development. Each child must be accompanied by a caretaker. For more information please contact Becky Gilbert at BeckyL915@yahoo.com.

Summer Mission Project: Eport Library Re-Stocking

As part of our congregation-wide mission project to restore and enhance the Lending Library at the Eport Presbyterian Center, Central continues to hold a book drive for new and gently-used books appropriate for a library for preschoolers. Collection bins will be located in the Gathering Space (at the top of the Glass Hallway ramp). For a new, easy way to donate bilingual books, visit our Amazon Wish List. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this continuing drive.
