Central's Pastoral E-Letter: February 15, 2013

 

Dear Central Family,

 

I hope that you are all enjoying the love that God has for all of us as shown to us by the sacrifice of His Son during this month of love. 

 

Speaking of love… to help couples at Central reconnect with each other, the Breakaway Student Ministry is offering FREE BABYSITTING TONIGHT for kids age 2-10 years old from 6-10p! (Drop offs start at 6 pm) Reservations requested but walk-ins will be taken. Dinner will not be provided, so we ask that you feed your child/children prior to dropping them off.  (We ask that you do not leave them with any dinner foods). Snacks will be provided, but if your child/children have any special dietary needs (gluten free, lactose intolerance, etc.) we ask that you inform us and provide a snack for them which is labeled with their first and last name. Any questions or to make a reservation, please contact Pastor Bryan Bunagan (bbunagan@cbcnj.org).

 

I hope that you will be with us this weekend as we start a brand new series that will focus on the attributes of God and how this applies to our lives and the mission of our Church.  We are calling this series I Know He Is But What Am I?  I guarantee you this will be a different approach and will challenge each of us to better understand God, His heart for us and His mission for His Church.  I will be teaching on Saturday night at 6 pm and both Modern Services at 9:30 and 11:00 am.  Jared Alcántara will be teaching in the Classic Service. 

 

Speaking of the Classic Service, our Classic Worship Director Elizabeth Goida has asked me to let you know that they will be starting on a musical journey leading up to Easter starting this Sunday.  Each week there will be a special music drama that will unfold from the life of Peter presented by the choir.  So if you connect through classic worship I encourage you to come and to invite a friend to come with you.

 

We will be holding our Semi-Annual Business Meeting on Sunday, February 24 after the 11:00 service.  This will include a lunch cooked by our chefs and a great time of fellowship.   So if you are a member of Central, please take time to sign up on the link below.  Childcare will be provided from birth to 5th grade with prior reservation. We will have a suggested donation of $3.00 for the meal, $10.00 max for families of 4 and more.  This is a great time to connect in community with others at Central and celebrate what God is doing.

The Women’s Retreat is coming up on March 15 to 17!  Guest speaker is Anita Keagy of JoyShop Ministries and the retreat theme is Seeking God First.   To view the retreat brochure, go to this link.  Online registration is now available by going to this link.  (Log in using your Fellowship One log-in if you have one already.  If you don’t have one yet, click on “Create an Account”). 

 

Unplugged service coming starting Easter Sunday!  We are very excited to announce that we are starting a new worship service that will begin on Easter Sunday, March 31 at 11:00 am.  We are calling this service Unplugged and will feature the same message as given in the other weekend services with a live teacher, but the worship will be unplugged in a relaxed café style atmosphere.  We will be meeting in Adult 1-3 and are excited to have Mark and Ginny Kraft directing this new service.  Ginny served as the Worship Director at Princeton Alliance Church for many years, and Mark and Ginny both have training in vocal and instrumental music.  So if you are looking for something unplugged that is between the style of our Classic and Modern Services, this is the service for you!

 

2012 Giving Statements are now available through Fellowship One!  For instructions on how to access your statements, please scroll down to the bottom of this e-mail. 

 

See you this weekend!
