WELCOME TO THE CENTRAL COMMUNITY!
Shawn Daniell is a manager at Drunken Oyster and Sami is the accounts payable manager at Regency Mill Services. They’ve been married for 3 years and love catching a movie or heading out to local events when they have some downtime. They love Central’s family atmosphere.

Christy DeLuna, her husband Pete, and their son Trevor recently moved to Amarillo from Stinnett and are loving their new home. She is the mother of Natallie Dallas and loves spoiling her granddaughters. Trevor is quite the singing and music-loving enthusiast – and he also loves being the center of attention. They love Central's warmth and kindness since they first visited.

Travis Kotara works for Riskonnect as a Solutions Consultant, and Bretta balances being a real estate agent and homeschool mom to Shepherd (3rd grade) and Scout (1st grade). They enjoy camping, being in nature, and game nights as a family and are excited about building a deeper community life at Central.

DAY OF PRAYER & FASTING
During Missions Impact, we focus our attention on the work God is doing locally and globally through our mission partners. On Wednesday, October 7, we invite you to join us in fasting throughout the day, either from food or social media or something else that helps you focus your attention back toward God. As we fast, keep our mission work in your prayers. And then we’ll break our fast together at 6:30pm with Sharky’s burritos.
There is no cost, but donations will be accepted.

MID-WEEK FOCUS IS CHANGING
For October, rather than our rhythm of going live each Wednesday morning, be checking Facebook and Instagram for weekly videos from us. We will be sharing stories about how God has impacted us through the work of missions and being in the world. We hope these are encouraging to you and share a picture of the ways God is moving in the world. If you aren't following us on social media yet, please follow us so you won't miss any updates!
