Central's Pastoral E-Letter: June 11, 2010

 

The time has come! 

 

We have been talking about leaders stepping up to the plate and being the leaders God has made them to be.  The time has come for all of us to take the next step and get out of the stands and get in the game! 

 

This is going to be an exciting Sunday at Central, and you are not going to want to miss it!  We will be wrapping up our series Stepping up to the Plate with an examination of what the Scripture has to say about all of us being called to be part of the game.  God has given all of us gifts, and experiences, and personalities that He wants to use to impact people for eternity, and the time has come to stop watching from the stands and get in the game.  I will be speaking at the 9:30 and 11:15 contemporary services and Jared Alcántara will be speaking at the 9:45 classic service in Allen Hall.  Part of our services this Sunday will be a special event called Voluntour.  What is that?  You will find out when you walk in our doors on Sunday!  We have even cut the length of our services this Sunday, so you can experience Voluntour first hand!  So let’s play ball!

 

One more thing: Last Sunday I introduced you to the leadership team for our High Seas Expedition Kids’ Camp (formerly VBS).  Well, we still need volunteers to serve as crew leaders for the week.  During High Seas Expedition Kids’ Camp, crew leaders will visit different stations with a group of four to five kids and help them enjoy the activities as they shepherd the members of their crew.   There will be a volunteer staff training this Sunday night, June 13 from 7 to 8:30 pm where everyone will sample Goodies from the Galley, learn the week’s theme song, and get a sneak preview of the week’s activities.  Volunteers will also get their staff shirts for Kids’ Camp!  Interested in serving?  Go to cbcnj.org, click on the High Seas Expedition logo, and select Volunteer Opportunities.  Everyone is welcome to come to training even if you haven't signed up so you can learn more about the opportunities to help.   This is a great opportunity to get in the game!  We are praying for God to bring us 200 children to impact for Christ. 

 

See you on Sunday!
