Our Plan Moving Forward
PDF
The City of Springfield has set new public gathering guidelines in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Attached to this email is a letter from Central Christian that explains how we are planning to move forward. As everything seems to be fluid, this is not a final plan and as we have more information we will let everyone know. We are constantly in conversation and thoughtful prayer over how to continue to be a faithful, warm, and vibrant community and church within Springfield. Please keep checking our website and our Facebook page for more information.

In 2015, the community began “fishing” for struggling families and neighbors through a food drive that collects high-protein fish products during Lent.
Churches, businesses, schools and other organizations will be participating in the 5th annual drive anytime between Febraury 26 and April 19.
Collected fish items will benefit the one in five children and one in seven adults who face food insecurity in the Ozarks. Fish contains many nutrients and has a high protein value, and it is requested by many people who receive food assistance through our network of 270 hunger-relief partners.

Love Grows Here - Week of Compassion:
Special Offering 2020
Special Offering 2020
In church today, you have the opportunity to build something miraculous, to plant seeds of new life. Where God's people have suffered loss, you are invited to invest in the future. When you give to Week of Compassion, you gift travels to places where disaster or poverty has caused great suffering. Through your generosity, we empower communities to grow new kinds of crops in a changing climate; we support youth education and empower women with skills to support their family and their neighbors.
In these and so many other places, we are co-workers in the kingdom of God. Building, planting, watering... and trusting that God gives growth to all good gifts shared in faith.
