What’s Happening Now At Central Presbyterian Church
Upcoming Worship
We invite you to attend worship in person in the Chapel at 8:30 and in the Sanctuary at 10am each Sunday. Alternately, you can watch the 10am service live on Summit’s HTTV, or on our YouTube channel.
WAVE, Central’s contemporary worship service, is held in the church auditorium. WAVE will meet on select Sundays each month at 5 pm – upcoming dates include March 17 when we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, and April 7 & 21.
The entire main floor of Central Church is handicapped accessible via the glass doors facing Elm Street (our main entrance). The Sanctuary is equipped with an audio-assist system for those with hearing difficulties.
WAVE Worship: March 17
Central’s contemporary worship service, WAVE, will meet at 5pm on March 17, when we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with a potato bar supper, special music by the Praise Band, and a message from our new Interim Pastor, Rev. Jan Ammon. The service includes children’s activities, so bring the entire family!
Prayer Room
During Lent, it is a great time to slow down, reset, and attend to our spiritual lives. One way people have done this for millennia is through the practice of contemplative prayer. If you are new to contemplative prayer, or you just want a “prompt” to help you focus your practice, we invite you to stop by the Prayer Center set up in the Library during Lent. Each week we will feature one of our Contemplative Practices, and have different stations for you to engage, and connect with God. Featured practices: Prayer of Examen, Celebration, Breath prayer, Labyrinths, Confession, and Service.
Blessing of the Bicycles: April 21
In honor of Earth Day, Central asks everyone to consider biking to church on April 21. At our 5pm WAVE service, there will be a blessing of bicycles and helmets – so bring your helmet in to worship! If the weather cooperates, we may be outdoors for this service.
The Lent KEY is here!

Welcome to Pastor Jan Ammon
Rev. Jan Ammon has accepted the role of Interim Senior Pastor, beginning on February 1, and will serve while Central conducts its Pastor Search. Welcome Pastor Ammon!
Palm Sunday: March 24
Central is planning a Palm Sunday Service with Palm Processional and singing of “The Palms” on Sunday, March 24 at 10am, followed by Easter Egg Hunts for the children and a brunch for all.
Children wishing to participate in the Palm Processional should gather in the Boardroom. Parents are welcome to escort their littles throughout. Children will return to their families in the pews following the procession.
The Easter Egg Hunt will follow worship and Sunday School. If the weather is poor, the Hunt will be indoors.
The Brunch is free and open to all and will be held in the auditorium.
Maundy Thursday & Good Friday: March 28 & 29
A Maundy Thursday evening service is planned for March 28 at 7pm, to remember the Last Supper. Communion will be served.
Good Friday, March 29, will have a service in the Chapel, also at 7pm.
Easter Sunday: March 31
Easter Worship on March 31 will include a contemplative service at 8:30am in the Chapel, with a full Festival Easter Service at 10am in the Sanctuary. Easter crafts for children will be in the auditorium during the 10am service.
