The raonale for this new staff posion is that our congregaon is aging, and we already have a good number of folks who live in nursing homes, assisted living or who are shut-in. Working with the Pas- tor, the Parish Visitor would do some of the visitaon, and also work with the Deacons and others to help us do more caring ministry for the sick, elderly and hurng in our congregaon. Aſter a search and interviews to fill this posion, the Personnel Commiee made its recommendaon to Session. I am delighted to announce that Session has called Deb Mummert to be Central’s Minister of Visit- aon (Session also decided to change the job tle to reflect beer the purpose of the posion). Deb is a trained Stephen Minister, an ordained Ruling Elder, and has gained extensive experience in caring for oth- ers both through Stephen Ministry and her role as MDO Director. She’ll be great in this ministry. Deb will be leaving her posion as Director of Central’s Mother’s Day Out ministry on May 8th and be- ginning service as Minister of Visitaon on or around May 11th . I personally am grateful for Deb’s16 years of dedicated service to MDO. Her new office will be located in the room around the corner from the church parlor, next to the Finance Administrator’s Office. Please be in prayer for Deb as she begins this challenging new ministry. This of course creates a vacancy for the Director of Mother’s Day Out. The MDO Board has begun search- ing for a new director. If you are interested in applying, or know someone who is, please contact MDO Board Chairman Jim Sharp at [email protected] or 446-1567. The past 6 years the Lord has lead me more and more into using my spiritual gifts for personal, caring min- istry. Since becoming a Stephen Minister in 2009, I have experienced the deaths of three MDO parents and have walked others through some very difficult times, all from my office on the third floor. I truly believe God had a plan in mind when I came to MDO 16 years ago as a substitute teacher and He used my position as MDO Director to prepare me for this new path in my life. I want to thank each one of my Central Church family for all the thoughts, prayers and support you have giv- en me as Director of MDO. It is going to be hard to step away but I know God is in control and He’ll pro- vide just the right person to take my place. Please continue to pray for MDO and also for me as I begin serving the Lord and this church in this new capacity as Minister of Visitation. Blessings, Deb Mummert Dear Central Family, Over the past few years as Director of MDO, I have felt God calling me to another form of ministry. I wasn’t sure what or where but I knew He had some- thing for me to do and He was leading me to it. Through prayer and reflection I realized that, in or- der to fulfill His plans for me, it may not be possi- ble for me to continue with MDO. That was a hard one. I began in September knowing in my heart that this would most likely be my last year and I told the MDO board that was a possibility. It never occurred to me that God could be leading me into something else within Central. In fact, even as I worked on the video presentation for stewardship where Pastor Scott talked about the need for a Parish Visitor, it never crossed my mind to inquire about it. It wasn’t until early in February that, during a time of prayer, the Lord put it on my heart to apply should the op- portunity arise.

The

Window T h e P a s t o r ’s N o t e s

One of the goals of Central’s 2015 Stewardship Campaign was to add a new staff position - that of Parish Visitor. The rationale for this new staff position is that our congregation is aging, and we already have a good number of folks who live in nursing homes, assisted living or who are shut-in. Working with the Pas-tor, the Parish Visitor would do some of the visitation, and also work with the Deacons and others to help us do more caring ministry for the sick, elderly and hurting in our congregation. After a search and interviews to fill this position, the Personnel Committee made its recommendation to Session. I am delighted to announce that Session has called Deb Mummert to be Central’s Minister of Visit-ation (Session also decided to change the job title to reflect better the purpose of the position). Deb is a trained Stephen Minister, an ordained Ruling Elder, and has gained extensive experience in caring for oth-ers both through Stephen Ministry and her role as MDO Director. She’ll be great in this ministry. Deb will be leaving her position as Director of Central’s Mother’s Day Out ministry on May 8th and be-ginning service as Minister of Visitation on or around May 11th . I personally am grateful for Deb’s16 years of dedicated service to MDO. Her new office will be located in the room around the corner from the church parlor, next to the Finance Administrator’s Office. Please be in prayer for Deb as she begins this challenging new ministry. This of course creates a vacancy for the Director of Mother’s Day Out. The MDO Board has begun search-ing for a new director. If you are interested in applying, or know someone who is, please contact MDO Board Chairman Jim Sharp at [email protected] or 446-1567.

The past 6 years the Lord has lead me more and more

into using my spiritual gifts for personal, caring min-

istry. Since becoming a Stephen Minister in 2009, I

have experienced the deaths of three MDO parents

and have walked others through some very difficult

times, all from my office on the third floor. I truly

believe God had a plan in mind when I came to MDO

16 years ago as a substitute teacher and He used my

position as MDO Director to prepare me for this new

path in my life.

I want to thank each one of my Central Church family

for all the thoughts, prayers and support you have giv-

en me as Director of MDO. It is going to be hard to

step away but I know God is in control and He’ll pro-

vide just the right person to take my place.

Please continue to pray for MDO and also for me as I

begin serving the Lord and this church in this new

capacity as Minister of Visitation.

Blessings, Deb Mummert

Dear Central Family,

Over the past few years as Director of MDO, I have

felt God calling me to another form of ministry. I

wasn’t sure what or where but I knew He had some-

thing for me to do and He was leading me to it.

Through prayer and reflection I realized that, in or-

der to fulfill His plans for me, it may not be possi-

ble for me to continue with MDO. That was a hard

one.

I began in September knowing in my heart that this

would most likely be my last year and I told the

MDO board that was a possibility. It never occurred

to me that God could be leading me into something

else within Central. In fact, even as I worked on the

video presentation for stewardship where Pastor

Scott talked about the need for a Parish Visitor, it

never crossed my mind to inquire about it. It wasn’t

until early in February that, during a time of prayer,

the Lord put it on my heart to apply should the op-

portunity arise.

Church Family Thank you....

Dear Central Family,

God is so good and his answer so complete for Wen-

dy Birdsong (my daughter) and Samuel Lopez (her

husband)! They have been staying at friends' homes

since March 31st and now expect to move into a sin-

gle home closer to work (for both). Plus, their car

was fixed and the insurance company didn't require

them to pay the deductible since they had the physical

license plate left from the car that the hit-and-run

driver had. The car is repaired, and they now have

until the 15th when they move in. Thanks be to God!

Exulting in his love, Bonnie Fortuna

After a long battle with heart disease, my brother,

Gary Burkholder, passed away April 25. Please pray

for his family during this time. I would like to thank

everyone for your prayers and support.

God Bless you, Karen Sloan and family

Dear Central,

Thank you for lifting my son and me in your prayers.

I am blessed because of my church family.

Thank you, Susan Snyder

Thank you Pat and Karl Shreiner for the beautiful

flower arrangement you gave me from the church

on Sun, April 12. They were lovely and I deeply

appreciate your generosity as well as all the kind

wishes from the congregation on the paper that

accompanied them. May God bless every one of

you.

Gratefully with love, Helen Wingert

I wish to thank the Shreiner’s for the lovely flow-

ers on April 12th. The Children’s Ministry has

touched so many young lives for Jesus and I love

doing it. But, I couldn’t do it alone, there are so

many dedicated “helpers” that without them, it

wouldn’t be possible. Again, thank you all for your

support and love.

God bless, Sandy Wilson

To my friends and family at Central,

Many thanks for your prayers and support during

my recent illness and surgery. Thanks to Pastor

Scott for his hospital visits and from Sandy Myers

for her visits too. All your love was strongly felt!

In Christ’s love, George Cowley

Sunday School Missions! Jesus’ love in action!

Our Sunday School children tied fleece blankets

to give to the two Navajo brothers we support

each month. Zach and Lakota live at the Four

Corners Home for Children – a vital part of

Navajo Ministries in Farmington, NM. Eve-

ry week, our children pray for Zach and Lakota.

They also bring in offering money which we

send monthly to help with their support.

I had the privilege of going to Navajo Ministries to

help with an annual fund raising banquet held on April

16. Praise God – over $40,000 was raised for the Mis-

sion! I was able to take the blankets our Sunday School

children made and give them to Zach and Lakota. It was

great to have a chance to see the boys at their school on

the mission grounds, meet their house parents, and visit

with them in their home. The central part of the home is

in the shape of a traditional Navajo hogan, with living

quarters branching off to each side. Check out their web-

site at www.NavajoMinistries.org; or talk to me for

more info about this mission we support!

For HIS Glory, Sandy

April was quite a month for us as a youth group!

We started off the year participating in a MAJOR way in the Good

Friday “Experience the Passion of Christ” service, then cel-

ebrated Easter through sound, slides, dance, and song to

finish up Holy Week powerfully! To God be all glory,

honor, and praise!

On April 12th and 19th, the Middlers created their own bar-

bershop quartets and celebrated National Garlic Day before diving deep into Jesus’ ques-

tions to His disciples in the book of Mark. The Highers joined the Middlers for silly games

during combined time, then went on to an in-depth study of Samson from the book of Judg-

es.

April 26th was this year’s Youth Sunday and we are SO PROUD of our young people for

leading us into such meaningful, beautiful, and vibrant worship! That night, we attended the

Salt ‘n’ Light youth rally in Waynesboro, PA – and God said April was “good”.

The Higher Sunday School class, with Scott and Madeline Wilson, just started a new series

called ‘Nooma’. This powerful study is insightful and inviting for all ages, but we believe

the high schooler's will benefit greatly from it!

The High School Girls’ Bible Study group is finishing up its “Critical Decisions” study and

is moving on to “Authentic Relationships: Being Real in an Artificial World”.

Coming up:

May 3rd 2-4:45pm, Middler boys’ hike with Bill Oyler

May 5th 7-8pm, Mission Trip meeting in youth lounge

May 31st 5-7:30pm, Graduation/End-of-the-Year Pool Party at the Ott household!

CONTEMPORARY WORSHIP:

On behalf of the praise band, dance team, drama team, tech team,

and all involved in making Holy Week so special, thank you to the

congregation for your support and prayers. We love you.

On behalf of the congregation, thank you to all involved in making

worship what it is every week, but especially in Holy Week. Your
