The list of needs in our community has now been prioritized by where the people of Central Park Church feel they have the gifts and passion to make a difference. Take this list home and once again make it a matter of prayer. On November 4, we want to narrow this list down to one thing that we will work at together. It is our goal to meet needs in a way that gives people a new lease on life. A RIDDER - CHURCHES LEARNING CHANGE RETREAT will be held this week at Maranatha Conference Center.
