Dear Central Family,
I trust you are all fine and have recouped from the impact from Hurricane Irene! We continue to pray for those who were impacted by this storm and if you are aware of anyone with serious needs, please contact the office and let us know.
I hope that you will be with us this Sunday as we wrap up our series, What’s the Difference! I will be preaching in the Contemporary Services and Jared Alcántara will be speaking in the Classic Service in Allen Hall.
My topic this Sunday is going to seek to pull together everything we have been learning by examining how we can explain the difference between what the Bible teaches about eternal life and what all the other religions of the world teach. I will be sharing with you a passage of Scripture that I think explains it in a clear, concise manner so that you can use this to share with others what we believe, why we believe it , and why they should as well. This is a great Sunday to invite a friend or neighbor who is seeking to understand what Christianity is all about. So I look forward to seeing you on Sunday!
Also, this Sunday, we are having a seminar on Islam during both the 9:30 and 11:00 services. If you have you ever struggled to have an intelligent spiritual conversation with a Muslim or wanted to learn more about how Christianity compares to Islam, come and discover the differences between these two spiritual beliefs. It will be led by Elisheba Stephens who is a professor at Rutgers and has a great deal of experience with this subject. She will also be leading a LifeGroup this fall for more in-depth study on the topic.
Finally, I also hope that you will plan to come out to a special Thank You Lunch that we will have on September 18 to thank everyone who participated in any way whatsoever in our two Kids Camps. You will have a chance to hear firsthand how God used everyone’s gifts of time, talent, and resources to impact kids for eternity. We will also have a special video presentation of Kids Camp Trenton. So come out for a free spaghetti lunch and be blessed by what God did! You can sign up in the worship folder this Sunday or by replying to this e-mail.
See you Sunday morning!
Pastor Gay
