CBC Pastoral E-Letter: August 6, 2009

Dear Central Family,

 

August is here already?  WOW!  Between Romania, VBS, name change discussions, and Sunday Worship Services, this summer is flying by! 

 

So here is the scoop:  This week I will be getting my yearly recharge as I attend the Willow Creek Leadership Summit on Thursday and Friday.  I always look forward to this time of refreshment, challenge, and renewal, as it charges me up for the new year, which begins in September around here.  What makes this year even better is that we have a large group of leaders who will be attending with me.  A team of staff and ministry leaders will all be challenged and enriched as we attend the satellite version of the summit in Northeast Philadelphia.  Pray that we will be open to hear what God has for us!

 

Then when that finishes, vacation begins!  I am looking forward to a week with our family and just laying low.  No email, no voice mail, no phone calls; just fun, relaxation, rest, and recharge.  Some good books by the pool and we will be set!

 

Don’t miss this Sunday as Pastor Gilmer will be preaching on “Getting It Right After You’ve Gotten It Wrong” during the morning services and “Paul’s Final Words of Wisdom” during the evening service.  Then on August 16, Thor and Kate Odland, our World Impact team members who serve with Young Life in Norway, will be with us in the morning and evening services.  Thor and Kate are dynamic leaders whom God is using in powerful ways to impact the students in Norway.  You will be blessed, so don’t miss either service.

 

Till then, I am off!  See you August 16!

 

Pastor
