Christ Central serves 3500-4000 meals a month as well
as offering many other services to the community from
the Main Street Location. Our commercial refrigerator
recently stopped running and one of our heating and air
units went out this past summer. Please join your faith
and prayers with ours as we trust God for a Commercial
Refrigerator and HVAC unit for the Christ Central Co-
lumbia Mission Station
God shapes the world by prayer. Prayers are deathless.
They outlive the lives of those who uttered them.

Ingredients
- 1 (16 oz) package dried penne pasta
- 5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast
halves - cut into cubes
- salt and pepper to taste
- garlic powder to taste
- 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 bunch slender asparagus spears,
trimmed, cut on diagonal into
1-inch pieces
- 1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
Directions
1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted
water to boil. Add pasta, and cook

Drain, and set aside.
2. Warm 3 tablespoons olive oil in a
large skillet over medium-high heat.
Stir in chicken, and season with salt,
pepper, and garlic powder. Cook
until chicken is cooked through and

CHRIST CENTRAL'S # 1 commitment is to serve every
client in a spirit of love and respect. Our devoted volunteers
are dedicated to serve in excellence, regardless of how great
or small the need. I am both grateful and honored to have
such dedicated and faithful volunteers who make great sac-
rifices to serve in the daily operation at 2401 Main Street.
There are many services offered at Christ Central Colum-
bia, but none of it would be possible without our volunteers.
Some come driving a Cadillac, others come with only a
backpack. Some can only stay an hour, others will stay all
day. The common thread among them all is a grateful heart
with a willingness to enhance another life. Volunteers are
the life of Christ Central Columbia and our greatest asset.

rently available at Christ Central Columbia
