CBC Pastoral E-Letter: June 11, 2009

Dear Central Family,

 

            You Prayed

                     You Invited

                           You Came

                               You Worshipped

 

                                       GOD SHOWED UP

                                                GOD WORKED

                                                            GOD GAVE NEW LIFE!

 

 

This is what happened this past Sunday!  A number of new lives were brought into the kingdom as individuals prayed to trust Christ as their Savior!  I have been hearing stories this week and receiving emails telling stories of new life.

 

Someone has said, “Christ did not come to make bad people good, but to bring dead people to life”!  This is why we have built this building, and this is why we are working so hard to create dynamic worship services that you can feel comfortable bringing your friends to so they can hear the message of new life in Christ!  I love what God is doing in this church.

 

I am looking forward to this Sunday as we examine what happens when new life is infused into someone who trusts Christ!  What does it mean we were dead and now alive?  Jesus illustrated this in a way that we will not soon forget, so I hope you will be with us this Sunday at any of our three services.

 

During the 11:15 service we will also be honoring our high school graduates and asking God’s blessing as they follow Christ to enter a new chapter.  This is always an exciting time.

 

Finally, please pray for the 15 guys who will be ministering this weekend in 5 prisons to share Christ with the inmates.  We look forward to how God will work supernaturally to bring new life to those men.  

 

Enjoy the rest of your week, and thanks again for all your prayers and encouraging words.  Central, you are the best and I love you with all my heart!

 

Pastor Richard Gay
