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.

Gospel Mass: 21 March Choir Event

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010
March 21, 2010
11:00 am

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.
