CBC Pastoral E-Letter: April 16, 2009

 

Dear Central Family,

 

     WOW!  That is the only word that I can use to describe how God’s presence was felt this past Easter Sunday!  Each of the services from 8:30 to 11:00 am were electric as we celebrated the Resurrection of Christ!  I hope that you were among the 870 were here!  That’s right—that is how many were here on Easter Sunday. 

     Even more exciting is the stories that I have heard this past week of individuals who took the step to invite a friend to come with them who did not know Christ. Thank you for your prayers, your help in making our guests feel at home, and those of you who gave up their seats so others could have a place to sit at 11:00.  You may not know it, but not only did we fill the gym at 11:00, but we also had overflow seating set up in Adult 1-3 that was used to accommodate all our guests.  Praise God with me as we thank Him for what He did!

     Please make sure that you pencil in on your calendar the date of Sunday, May 17, as that is the anticipated date of our “move out” to our new facility!  We will meet at 9:15 am for a ribbon cutting, and then praise God in our new Worship Center at 9:30 am, 11:15 am, and 6 pm.  Check out our website for information about all of the different services.  Also, mark down Sunday, May 31 at 7 pm as the date we officially dedicate our new facility in a powerful Worship Celebration and Reception for the entire church family.  More details to come. 

     As you can see lots is happening, and we are so thankful for God’s hand of blessing.  I look forward to worship this Sunday, and I hope you come anticipating God’s blessing on all of us!

 

     With lots of love and appreciation!
