ETHIOPIA – BUILDING FOR HOPE

This fall, Central is raising $332,000 to help build a high school and improve other aspects of schools we support through Adams Thermal Foundation in Hosanna and Ottoro, Ethiopia. To learn more about the project, how it will make an impact for generations to come in Ethiopia, and how YOU can get involved, click the thumbnail image. We collected an offering for this effort during our weekend services on November 9-10, but you can still contribute online at centralsf.org/givinghope. Thanks to everyone who has already contributed, and we can't wait to see how God works through Central to impact a nation!

SHARING CHRISTMAS GIVING OPPORTUNITY

This Christmas we're partnering with Community Outreach for a project called Sharing Christmas. Through Sharing Christmas, people donate new, unopened toys which are placed in a store at a reduced price for families with limited income to purchase. This provides these families with an opportunity to purchase Christmas gifts with dignity while still being blessed during the holiday season. We will be collecting new, unopened toys for the store in Grand Central starting November 16th through December 2nd, so just bring your gifts and drop them in the large bins when you arrive if you'd like to help make Christmas special for these families. Also, if you’re interested in volunteering now, click the thumbnail image or visit centralsf.org/christmasvolunteer.

SIGN UP FOR COLLEGE TEXT UPDATES

If you're a college student or college aged and want to receive text updates, we've got you covered. Just text CollegeCC to 555888. We'll send occasional texts with updates on events as well as lunches (so you never have to worry about missing a free meal).

Weekend To Remember – Nov. 15-17

The Weekend to Remember couples conference is not a large group counseling session or small group discussion. You’re not asked to share intimate details of your relationship with anyone. Instead, you’ll listen to engaging talks from marriage experts, then get alone with your spouse in guided projects to practically apply concepts you’ve heard. And you’ll bring home powerful communication tools from the Bible―and meaningful memories that will last for years to come. The conference is for all couples (married, engaged, dating) and will be held at the Sheraton Sioux Falls and Convention Center on Nov. 15-17. Tickets are normally $175 per couple, but Central attendees can get tickets for $100 off by using the discount code CENTRALSF at checkout. Visit centralsf.org/weekendtoremember to sign up. If you have questions, email Central's Outreach Pastor, Nathan Pruett, at nathan.pruett@centralsf.org.

KID CENTRAL FALL FAMILY FESTIVAL

We’ll be hosting our Kid Central Fall Family Festival on Nov. 22. If you and your family want to enjoy a night of fun and activities, then plan to be here! We'll have an inflatable, photo booth, balloon animals, a fall movie, games, hay rack rides, snacks, and more. Join us from 6:00-8:30pm to celebrate a season of thankfulness with your family.

“MARVELOUS” RELEASE DATE – OCT. 25

We’re excited to announce that the original Central Church worship song, "Marvelous (You Must Be)," will be released and available on October 25! You’ll be able to buy/stream the song on Apple Music, Spotify, and all other online music platforms.

Child Dedications – November 17

We’ll be celebrating child dedications on Sunday, Nov. 17. To have your child dedicated, click the image above for more info and be sure to attend the informational meeting on Sunday, Nov. 3 during any of our three service times. If you have questions, please email becky.jaspring@centralsf.org.

SEEKING COFFEE VOLUNTEERS

Attention coffee lovers! We’re in need of people who want to welcome and bless our guests and attendees by prepping and setting up the free coffee stations so they’re ready between services. You’ll be making a difference in creating a welcoming atmosphere that encourages relationship-building at Central! Please contact Haley Wiggers at haley.wiggers@centralsf.org to get involved!

DATE NIGHT COMEDY TICKETS ON SALE

Last year Central partnered with Restoration Generation to bring you a laughter-filled Date Night Comedy event. Well we’re excited to announce that Date Night Comedy is BACK on January 23 and 24 (that’s right, two nights of comedy)! Last year’s event sold out five weeks early, so be sure to visit resgen.org and get your tickets before it’s too late! **As a special bonus opportunity, if you email our Outreach Pastor, Nathan Pruett at nathan.pruett@centralsf.org with the names and email address of a couple that DOESN’T go to church and has agreed to come to Date Night Comedy with them, Central will pay for your friends’ tickets. Just get a friend to agree to join you on Thursday or Friday night, be one of the first ten couples to email Nathan, and your friends go for free. It’s a win for everybody.**

Guess what? We have a podcast!

After a long hiatus, Central has a podcast again. To listen on iTunes, visit centralsf.org/itunes. To check it out on Spotify, visit centralsf.org/spotify. Now you can catch up on sermons you might have missed and/or share them with friends and family who might be interested. Enjoy!

Intern Development Program

Central’s Intern Development Program is not just an internship—it’s a program designed with personal and professional development in mind. To put it bluntly, we’re not looking for interns to fill hours and perform grunt labor, we want leaders who desire to be challenged, grown, and invested in. If that description fits you or someone you know, visit centralsf.org/internship.

Family Visitation Center

Family Visitation Center (FVC) exists to empower children to maintain healthy relationships with their family members through safe supervised visitations and exchanges. Children served by FVC have been caught in the middle of complicated family dynamics like divorce, domestic violence, or substance abuse. Safe supervised visits offer families the opportunity to spend time together in one of four private, child-friendly rooms monitored by professional, well-trained staff through video/audio observation from another room. Approximately 125 - 140 families (250+ children) access FVC’s safe supervised visitation and exchange services each month. Approximately 95% of the children served by FVC come from low- to moderate-income families; a number of them living in the core area (Pettigrew Heights/Axtell Park) of the city. To learn more about Family Visitation Center, click the thumbnail image to watch a video or visit fvcenter.org. You can also become a financial supporter of FVC through…
