Dear Central Family,
Have you ever taken time to consider how blessed we are? How many things God has given so many of us while so many others have so little? We are going to start a new series this Sunday that I have been looking forward to called “The Blessed Life”. We are going to give praise and worship to God for all the ways He blesses us and then ask ourselves the question, “What am I doing with what He has placed in our hands?”
We are going to be sharing a concrete way that all of us can get involved in an outreach to our community by just using what God has placed in our hands. We are calling it a FREE MARKET, and you will be learning how you can get involved this Sunday. Our CommunityConnections Team has been working tirelessly to put together plans for an outreach like we have NEVER seen before, so don’t miss one of our 3 Worship Services this Sunday to learn more. Jared Alcántara will be teaching in the 9:30 Classic Service and I will be teaching in the 9:30 and 11:00 Modern Worship Services.
God has blessed our church with an outstanding staff and sometimes in His providence He moves individuals around for the sake of furthering His kingdom. Joseline and Derek Capre will be moving to Atlanta Georgia the end of June, as Derek has taken a new job position in Atlanta. Sunday, June 24 will be Joseline’s last day with us as Director of Children’s Ministries and we are so thankful for the way that God has used this family to bless us. Joseline’s passion of reaching and teaching children in our Children’s Church programs and the part that Derek has brought in not only supporting Joseline but in being involved in pivotal roles in our Kids Camp the past two years has made a lasting impression on all of us. We will be honoring Joseline and Derek on June 24, and I hope that you will plan to be present to say “thank you”! The Overseeing Elders have been working in seeking a new Director of Children’s Ministries and are hoping to have a public announcement in the next couple of weeks.
Finally, we have designated June 24 as “I Love My Church” Sunday! We are going to celebrate all that God has done this past year here at Central as we have sought to connect people to God, in community, and to His mission. All the worship services will be filled with testimonies and stories of what God has done and we are going to rejoice in the lives that have been changed through the power of His Spirit. We will conclude the morning with an all-church lunch and Congregational Business Meeting for the purpose of voting in new officers and approving the new ministry budget. We will also provide child care and lunches for the kids. You can sign up today by going to this link, so please take time and do this right now! It is going to be an awesome day. (Please click on your response at the top of the page, enter your name and e-mail address, indicate how many will be attending, and list the ages of any children attending next to their names).
See you Sunday!
Pastor Gay
