Search Team Update: The Search Team is busy considering potential candidates for Central.  If you know of someone who might be a good fit to be our next minister, please contact our Interim Moderator, the Rev. Mark Richardson at revmsr@icloud.com.  Please keep in mind that all candidates must be qualified to serve in the Presbyterian Church in Canada, which generally means a person from a Reformed church such as Presbyterian, United, Christian Reformed etc.

Coffee Hour Volunteers Needed-Our coffee hour after service is a special time to gather, share stories, and enjoy fellowship as a church family. To help keep this meaningful tradition going, we are looking for a few more volunteers to assist with preparing, serving, and tidying up. Whether you can help once in a while or more regularly, your time and care would be truly appreciated—and it’s a lovely way to connect with others. If you feel called to lend a hand, please speak to Sue Sullivan or email susancsullivan72@gmail.com. Thank you for helping make our community feel warm and welcoming.

Occasional ride needed for our 101 year old member Alice Ryan so she can attend our Sunday services. She lives in Fairview Mennonite Home in Preston and so enjoys attending Central’s service and the warm fellowship. Please contact the office or Denise at 519 658 5857/ denisemcclellan1@gmail.com if you can help us out.
