Dear Central family,
I hope you were able to be with us last weekend as we celebrated Easter at Central! We were blessed from Good Friday through our five Easter weekend services with many guests and great feedback as to how people were impacted at all of the services. We created two new worship venue options during the weekend: a Saturday night Alternative Service, and a Sunday morning 11:00 Acoustic Contemporary Service. Both were very well received, and the surveys that were returned showed a real interest in both of these services as options to consider starting in the future. We will now take that information and prayerfully evaluate it as staff and elders to determine what next steps we need to take. If you were not here last weekend, you can pick up a survey in the welcome center; we would love to get your feedback.
This Sunday we will continue our message series WAKE UP! This week we will be focusing on Waking up to TRUTH! We live in a world that is shouting at us that truth is relative and not absolute, and we need to be aware of this and be prepared with an answer for the hope that is in us. I am looking forward to this Sunday! Jared Alcántara will be preaching in the 9:30 Service, and I will be speaking in the 9:30 and 11:00 Modern Services. I am also excited to tell you that I will be having two guest speakers with me helping me address this issue. Ray and Sue Bohlin, who are with Probe Ministries in Dallas, Texas, will be sharing in each message how this subject impacts all of us. Ray and Sue are involved daily in training and equipping believers to know the truth, to defend the truth, and to express the truth in loving ways that are impacting young adults around the world. I know you are going to be encouraged by what they have to share. So you can see this is not a Sunday you want to miss.
One last item: We are planning another baptism celebration on Sunday, April 29. So if you have been thinking about it, now is the time to take the plunge! There will be an information meeting next Sunday, April 22 between the 9:30 and 11:00 service. Just show up and get all the info you need.
Looking forward to seeing you this Sunday!
