You're invited to pick up an angel beginning Sunday, November 23 to support a family in need this Christmas.

If you're interested in helping at the Angel Tree Christmas Party on Saturday, December 13, contact the church office.

Central's United Women in Faith will have their annual Christmas Luncheon at Barbara Williams’ home. Donation of $5.00 requested. RSVP to your circle leader!

Gather as a church family to decorate the church for this beautiful season and enjoy special Christmas tunes from Central Carillon, our handbell choir. Bring your favorite appetizer or dessert, enjoy fellowship and let's celebrate the beginning of the season together!

Join us for a special combined service as we celebrate the season Together at Christmas. This joyful morning will bring our whole church family into one room to worship with one voice. We’ll sing beloved Christmas carols accompanied by beautiful string arrangements, enjoy special music from our Praise Band, and be inspired by our dance ministry. Come experience the beauty, unity and wonder of Christ’s birth as we gather together in worship.

Celebrate the birth of our Savior together at either of our Christmas Eve services. The modern service will feature our Central Kids and Students sharing what Christmas means to them and special Christmas music by our Praise Band. The traditional service will include special Christmas hymns, Holy Communion and Candlelight. 

Spend Christmas morning with your church family at a Christmas Day Brunch! Please bring a dish and/or dessert to share. A ham will be provided! RSVP in the Gathering Area. Contact Kris Allen at 865-548-6749 for questions.

This Christmas season, join us for Advent Conspiracy—a special worship series inviting us to celebrate Christmas differently. In a world that tells us to spend more, rush more, and do more, we’ll rediscover the true meaning of Christmas by learning to worship fully, spend less, give more and love all. Together, we’ll conspire to make Christmas about Jesus again—and bring hope to our community and world in the process.

Come be part of the movement. Let’s celebrate Christmas the way it was meant to be celebrated!

Our Central Team will be handing out flyers during the parade to help us spread the message of hope and generosity this Christmas season. For questions, please contact Hannah Collins at hannah@centralmethodist.com.

Take a break from the hustle and bustle of the season at our Advent Tea. Enjoy fellowship, tea and a message from our guest speaker, Christy Via, as she shares about the ministry Cold Hands, Warm Hearts. Sign up in the Gathering Area!

All 6th-12th graders: it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Wear your Winter PJs and bring a bag of candy for a gift exchange for our annual Central Students Christmas Party. Enjoy Christmas games, a raffle of prizes, a yummy meal, an Advent devotion and lots of fun with your Central Student family!

For our Christmas Eve Offering and as an act of our “I Am the Church” mission, we'll be collecting winter survival items to support Cold Hands, Warm Hearts, a local ministry that provides meals and comfort to individuals and families in crisis.

Items Needed:

• Hot Hands (hand warmers)

• Gently used Hoodies and/or sweatshirts

• Bottled water

• Battery-powered Lanterns

• Pop top canned goods

We’ll also receive monetary donations to meet current community needs that extend beyond the items collected – this flexibility will allow us to respond quickly and effectively wherever help is most needed.

Every contribution, no matter how small, is an act of love that reflects the heart of our faith. Together, we can bring hope to our neighbors who need it most.

Join us for our special combined service, Life After Christmas, as we reflect on how the hope of Christ continues beyond the manger. Together we’ll celebrate with congregational singing and meaningful special music that points us toward living out the message of Christmas every day.
