CBC Pastoral E-Letter: July 9, 2009

Dear Central Family,

 

Both of our missions teams are back, safe and sound!  God worked in powerful ways through both our students who served in Savannah, Georgia, and our Romania team who served in Carapcesti, Romania.  We are working on a creative way to share what happened through our missions outreaches including the Saints Prison team, so stay tuned! 

 

By the way, there was another missions team that worked on July 4!  You may not know it, but a number of our adults and children manned the Ewing Fourth of July Parade telling people about VBS!  Thanks for stepping out and letting people know what is coming up!

 

Things keep rolling at a fast pace here at Central even though it is summer--which is GOOD!  This Sunday we will feature a guest speaker in the morning services.  Alan Brown grew up at Central and he and his wife Malinda serve on our World Impact Team in Hungary.  You will enjoy hearing how God has used them to impact lives. 

 

The Browns will also be present at the evening service for a Q & A, after which we will hold our quarterly business meeting.  This will be a good time of updates on what has been happening and where we are going as we approach the fall.  If you are a member, please plan on attending.

 

Also this Sunday, we will kick off the first week of our Starting Point class, which will be led by Tucker and Cathy Brown.  This is a great opportunity for you to get your questions answered about what it means to be a follower of Christ in a warm, inviting, non-threatening manner.  Just show up in the board room at 9:30 to check it out—you will be glad you did.  At 11:15, the newly-revised Foundations Class will meet.  This is a four-week class designed to help you know who we are, where we are going, and what it means to be a member of the Central family.  If you are interested in joining Central, Pastor Anthony Gilmer leads this lively class and it is what you have been looking for.

 

Be sure and add to your daily prayer list our upcoming Vacation Bible School which will be held July 20-24.  You can tell people to sign up on our website.  All the info is there.  We are fully staffed, and now we are just waiting for the children!  So get the word out!

 

Also, moms who are dropping off their kids at VBS: there is a class that week for you!  From 6:45 to 8:45 pm, join the VBS Moms’ Class for Bible study, crafts, and refreshments!  Please click here for more information or to register. 

 

See you Sunday!

 

Pastor Gay
