An Irish Goodbye

A short note to thank each and every one of you for making my time at Central such a caring, loving and inclusive experience. I am excited for the future of Central and know that your new  administrator will bring lots of great experience to the role. I will carry a little of you all with me. This was never just a job and you made that possible, thanks again. Slán go fóill ,  Debbie.

 

Church Office Administrator

We extend our most sincere thanks and appreciation to Debbie McKevitt as she leaves Central for a full time position. Debbie, we very much appreciate everything you have done to keep things running smoothly and for being such a great ambassador for Central for the past eight years.

We welcome Audra Hutton as our new church office administrator starting on October 13. Audra was in a similar position at Grace Bible Church for the past eleven years and brings a wealth of   experience to the role.

Finally, huge thanks to Grace Van Druten for managing the office during the transition. We are very blessed to have such capable people who give freely of their talents in so many ways.
