Central 5k Run
On New Year’s Day, Pastor Scott announced his commitment to lose weight, get healthier, and begin an exercise program so that he can run a 5K by the end of March. And he wants you to join him. Sometime at the end of March, we are going to have our own Central 5K run/walk/bike ride.It’s not too late for you to start training. More info will follow during the coming weeks in the bulletin, newsletter, and website. This will not be a certified 5K and no prizes will be awarded; however, we will ask everyone who participates to donate whatever financial sum they would like to an area of missions that will be announced soon. So go ahead, get your walking shoes on and get ready. It’s going to be a lot of fun!
