Dear Central Family,
I trust you have enjoyed your week and that you are looking forward to what God is going to do this Sunday at Central!
We will be continuing our series Simply Jesus, and will be examining the question that so many of us ask in our hearts if not verbally: “Why doesn’t God always heal? Why doesn’t God always deliver me from my pain and suffering?” We will examine how Jesus answers this question in the Gospel of Luke. I am looking forward to how God is going to teach all of us.
I will be teaching in the Classic Service, and when we were planning this series, this is one that Pastor Jeremy asked for the opportunity to bring the message, so Jeremy will be preaching in the contemporary services. I have heard a glimpse of what God has put on his heart, and we are all in for a blessing. This is one of those questions that many of your unchurched friends could be asking, so I invite you to bring them with you! Thank you to all of you who have been bringing friends each week of this series.
I also want to say thank you to everyone who gave so generously to the Japan relief fund. Due to your generosity we are able to give over $15,000 to help with the relief effort that is being done through our missionaries the Koike and Kato families. Thank you for being so generous!
We are working hard as a staff to get ready for our Easter Services. Check out our website www.worshipatcentral.org for more info. This Sunday we will be distributing special invite cards that are the size of a business card for you to give out to people you come in contact with throughout the week to invite them to one of our three Easter Services. We will have a full Classic Service at 8:30 and two identical Contemporary Worship Services at 9:45 and 11:00. We are praying for God to work in a powerful way as we all celebrate being more than conquerors through Christ! I hope that you will begin to pray now about whom you can invite.
Finally, I want you to know that we have had so many new folks checking out Central the past few weeks that our children’s ministry, 252, has grown at 11:00 that we need extra help to minister to all the children. This is an exciting time to work with the kids in a brand new active program where kids are so excited, they are inviting their friends, and they are coming back! So if you are willing to be part of a fun, exciting kids ministry, please contact our Director of Sunday Children’s Ministries, Joseline Capre, at jcapre@cbcnj.org THANKS!
See you Sunday!
Pastor Gay
P.S. Come early to get a good seat!
