Central's Pastoral E-Letter: September 28, 2012

 

 

Dear Central Family,

 

And the Lord keeps blessing....I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the way that God has been opening up hearts to lead believers to take a step of obedience to follow Him in baptism the past three Sundays.  Each week we have heard powerful stories about how the grace of God has impacted lives and how individuals have followed Him in obedience.  This past week I have received emails and Facebook messages asking, “Is baptism still open this week?”  You bet it is!  So if you want to get baptized, you have another opportunity to respond to the Spirit’s call this Sunday at 9:30 and 11:00. I am looking forward to what God will do this Sunday! 

 

This weekend we will continue our series BETTER and Jared Alcántara will be teaching in the Saturday Night service as well as both Modern Services at 9:30 and 11.  I will be teaching in the Classic Service.  We will be looking at an often-missed passage in the Older Testament that will challenge all of us as to what God wants to do through us.  Speaking of Saturday Nights at Central.  I want to encourage you that if you are going to be away or are busy on Sunday, to come check out our Saturday Night service.  We meet at 6 pm for an energy-filled night of worship and fellowship in the Fellowship Mall.  It continues to be a blessing, so get the word out and come check it out firsthand.  I am so proud of our team of volunteers and what energy they are putting into this service every week!

 

Have you connected in community?  Life Groups have begun for the fall, and they have started with an explosion of energy and excitement!  We have groups all week long both at the church and in homes.  Check the schedule out at our website and take the step to get connected. Remember doing life with friends is so much better than going it alone! 

 

Finally, I want to let you know that our Monthly Prayer and Worship Service that meets at First Baptist Church in Trenton continues to be evidence of the presence of the Spirit of God! Starting in October, we are moving the time of this gathering to 4 pm.  I hope this will enable even more of you to come and worship with our brothers and sisters at First Baptist Church.  God is working as we seek to connect with Him in a variety of venues and to connect with His mission to spread His glory around our communities. 

 

One last thing (I promise) -- don’t forget to pray for our Meals and More outreach this Saturday in Trenton.  Thank you for all of the donations to make this a powerful weekend of sharing the love of Jesus.  You all are such a blessing! 

 

See you this weekend!

 

Pastor Gay
