Central offers a Service of Communion every Sunday at 8:30 a.m.. This service includes space for quiet reflection and uses guitars and piano. During Lent, as the light in the sanctuary dramatically changes in the early morning dawn, this weekly communion service will focus even more on being a quiet, contemplative space. In place of a sermon, the community will be invited to “live the questions.” For those who need “less of more” in Lent, this service is for you.

Trivia question: What did Erin Hudlow sing for her first and (she says only) solo?
Answer: During the Christmas at Wildwood in December of 1999 she sang “Silent Night.” She was accompanied on guitar by Sarah Watson.
Come see which of our talented youth will perform at Wildwood Revival as the tradition continues on March 6 at 7:00 p.m. The show is coming along nicely – you may be surprised by who is singing and playing and with the multitude of talent here at Central. (more…)

On Sunday, 21 March, the 20-member choir from the College of the Bahamas will join the Sanctuary Choir to perform the Gospel Mass by Robert Ray.
Composed in 1978, the work was written with a “desire to combine centuries of old traditions of Mass settings with sounds of the contemporary Black Church…[so that the listener can] experience the sense of joy and celebration that is generally felt in true African-American worship.”
Central’s worship service is the culmination of other events sponsored by the Bahamian Consulate. There will be plenty of opportunities and a need for “non musical” volunteers; specific requests for support will be forthcoming.

During Lent, the small group “Beer & Borg” will be reading and discussing two books that invite us to consider “Jesus.” On 23 February, the group will finish a discussion of Borg’s Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time. This is an accessible academic look at the historical Jesus and the heart of contemporary faith.
On March 9 & 23, Rev. Michael Pater will facilitate a discussion of Christopher Moore’s Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal. This satirical novel poses excellent questions about who Jesus might have been and what it “means” to be a Messiah. Please note: this is an irreverent novel and that includes crude humor.
Beer & Borg meets in the home of Joan and Bill Harrison at 7:30 p.m. For more information about the group, please email Joy Smith at joysmith66@yahoo.com.

On Saturday, March 13, Lena’s Place Coffeehouse will have a wonderful concert. At 8:00 p.m. “Cheaper than Therapy” with Kim and Dave Chamberlain will bring us a treat. Our 9:00 p.m music is with Mike Whitney. As Chris Moser writes in the AJC, “Mike Whitney returns us to those magical, wonder-filled anything’s possible spaces of childhood [with music]…that encompasses up-country rhythms, lounge-lizard licks, outrageous humor and playful songs about childhood.”
Join us for a warm, pleasant evening at Lena’s. Your donations in March will be given to the Georgia Interfaith Power and Light, an energy conservation non-profit working within the faith community to heighten awareness of our energy use, and to promote conservation. It also advocates for the use of sustainable sources of energy. Music begins at 8:00 p.m.
