JOHN

Good Morning! I’m John Branning, Lead Pastor of Central United Methodist Church. I love laughter and a light heart. Here is a story about an eventful first Sunday for a new pastor. The church was packed and the minister hit a home run with his sermon. That evening the congregation provided him with a table full of food and homemade desserts. He noticed in the center of the table a center piece with the words written on it: “Rest in Peace.”

As he rested that night, he became more irritated about such a careless mistake by a florist that ruined a wonderful day. Monday morning, he called the florist to complain. The florist replied: “Pastor, you think your upset? Somewhere in town today there’s a funeral and at that funeral is a casket with flowers and a ribbon that says: Good luck in your new location.

Don’t take yourself to seriously today. Share a smile and a good word with others. Come and connect with us at Central where life is better lived connected.
