JOHN

Good Morning! I’m John Branning, Lead Pastor of Central United Methodist Church. The season of fall reminds us not only of the harvest of spring and summer but that nature is beginning to take a rest. Soon all the leaves on the trees will have changed colors and fallen off, and the grass that was so green in summer will fade away.

Just like in nature, all of us are in need of rest. Jesus shared with his disciples in Matthew 11:28 that he desires to give them rest from the burdens that they carried.

Most of us feel the pressure everyday as we try to fit everything that we are obligated to do and need to do into each day. God created Sunday for all of us so that we could have rest and spiritual renewal. I hope that Sunday is a special day for you and your family as you center yourself for the Monday that is coming. I invite you to start your week with us at Central at either our 8:30 or 9:45 contemporary services or 10:55 traditional. Come and experience rest.
