Assistive Hearing Devices Are Available at Every Worship Service The sound system includes five assistive hearing devices, which are available for your use. These are wireless receivers with a single earpiece. They are easy to use and very unobtrusive – your fellow congregants are unlikely to notice that you're using one. If you're interested in giving one of our assistive hearing devices a try, just ask an usher for one when you enter the sanctuary. Hearing aids should be removed before using the church's assistive device. Please remember to return the earpiece and the receiver to an usher at the end of worship, so that we can clean it and have it ready the next time you or someone else wants to use it. Thanks!
We, the members of Central Lutheran Church, affirm that Christ has made us one body with many members, all sharing in God's wondrous grace and unconditional love. We celebrate
both the human variation and inclusive unity of God's family. Following Jesus' example, we embrace all of God's people, regardless of ethnicity, physical and mental abilities, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or economic circumstance. With welcoming hearts,
we invite you to join us in worship, fellowship, and ministry.
