I always enjoy heading into the New Year. Weeks of practicing and focusing on Christmas can be hard. I have to admit I can only handle so much Christmas music. That's probably because I start listening to it in August to prepare for our production and services in December. Well, Christmas was amazing and we were able to point many people toward Christ. So now we move into the New Year and I am looking forward to seeing what God will continue to do through our body of believers. I see a growing awareness in people to get active and allow God to flow through them to reach others. I'm challenged to grow in Christ and use that growth to show this world what God looks like. A recent tweet from @lovedoes said – Everything worth hearing has already been said. All that's left is just to go do stuff! This has stuck with me and has probed me to actively be aware and look for opportunities to put God's word into action. This is going to be an amazing year for Central!

This past year was a great year for our small groups. We had almost half of our congregation get connected into a small group of some kind. Our small groups are kicking off the New Year with a session called The 30 Day Church Challenge. This session will challenge us in five areas to grow in our faith and apply these teachings to reach others for Christ. Get connected today!
