CBC Pastoral E-Letter: April 2, 2009

Dear Central Family,

           

What a family you have shown yourself to be!  You stepped up and ministered in amazing ways last week to the McNair and Alsdorf families.  The cards, the calls, the food, the hugs, the sharing of just being there—you as a Church showed this community what it means to be the Church and I love you for it! 

Last Sunday was a day in which we gathered as a family, grieved, and felt the presence of God in powerful ways.  The many ways that you gave of yourselves is an example of how we are connected in love to one another.  Add to this the number of men who stepped up and told me “I want my life to be different,” this is what the ministry is all about, and I am so thankful for your part in making us a Church that makes a difference!

           I hope that you will be with us this Sunday as Pastor Gilmer will be continuing our study “Movin’ Out” by looking at a dynamic passage in Joshua 5:13-6:20.  I hope you will read this before Sunday as I know that God will speak to you through the message and worship! 

I will be away getting some R &R and look forward to being back with you on Easter Sunday.  We have got a dynamic service planned for April 12 and you are not going to want to miss it!

         Thanks again for being a loving community!  God is working in amazing ways because you are choosing to be His agents of love and compassion!

 

                God bless!

               Pastor
