I’m looking for a few good Centralites …
I am exploring a couple new ministry opportunities and need some help. Please let me know (revpaul@centralumchurchdetroit.org) if you’d be interested in joining a small group to develop the following:
Possibilities of renting the rooftop deck for additional revenue for the church.
I’m especially look for folks who have any background or experience in venue
rental (especially business or legal).
Community Service team to coordinate regular service opportunities for Central members.
Faith Sharing small group. This group would focus on weekly one hour discussion and
sharing about our life experiences and faith journeys. Rev. Paul

Reminder Today: Our quarterly bag lunch project is scheduled for Sunday, June 14, 2026

Each Member makes 25 sandwiches using:
A. Wheat bread
B. Meat (choice of bologna, ham, turkey or chicken)
C. Cheese (choice of Cheddar, Swiss or American)
