Ash Wednesday Service
Join us on Wednesday, February 18th at 7pm as we start the season of Lent with an Ash Wednesday contemplative service in the sanctuary.
“Lent marks the forty days leading up to Easter, mirroring the forty days Jesus spent in the wilderness…It’s the downward slope of God—the Great Descent, where the whole Church walks toward the cross. Of course, the cross isn’t the end of the story, but this season of grief is carved out to acknowledge the reality of Christ’s sacrifice. And the reality of suffering that so many of our circumstances reflect too—our own pain and grief and despair. Easter is coming, yes. But for now, we sit in the ashes of our broken dreams and broken hearts, knowing that God sits here with us.”

Lent Book Study
This year during Lent, groups at Central will read Zach Lambert’s book, Better Ways to Read the Bible. In this compassionate guide, Lambert dismantles four common lenses for reading the Bible that lead to harm, then offers four new lenses that promote healing and wholeness. This book welcomes all Christians--regardless of background, doubts, or wounds--to reengage Scripture in life-giving ways.
Grab a copy of the book from your favorite retailer. If you are experiencing a financial strain, let us know and we will get a copy for you.
If you are interested in joining a group to study Better Ways to Read the Bible beginning February 22, here are some options:
9am on Sundays at the church
(led by Rev. Lani Rousseau)
6pm on Mondays in the League City area
(contact Amy at for location and details)
6:30pm on Tuesdays at the church
(led by Rev. Julia Riley)
More groups will be announced as they form. If you would like to start a study group or invite folks to your existing group for the Lent discussion, reach out to Pastor Julia.
The author, Zach W. Lambert, will join us in person after Easter to discuss the book and answer questions. Details will be posted soon!
