Central's Pastoral E-Letter: March 22, 2013

 

Dear Central Family,

 

I am really excited about the worship that we have planned for this weekend as we wrap up our series on our ministry core values, “I Know He Is But What Am I?”  We have planned an exciting time of worship and teaching in all of our worship services.  Our Teaching Pastor Jared Alcántara will be teaching in the 9:30 Classic and I will be teaching in our Saturday Night Service at 6 pm and both 9:30 and 11:00 Modern Services.

 

I want to encourage you to make plans to celebrate Easter with us starting on Good Friday Evening at 7 pm.  We will meet in the Worship Center for a wonderful time of praise and worship and communion.  Jared will be bringing the message and this is a great opportunity for all of us to just pause, reflect, and celebrate the sacrifice of Christ that sets us free.  (Please note that childcare will not available that evening.) 

 

Our Easter Services will then kick off with 5 different worship opportunities: Saturday at 6 pm, and then Sunday 9:30 Classic,  9:30 Modern, 11:00 Modern and also at 11:00 our new Unplugged service.  Some may ask, why do we have so many different venues for worship?  The reason is: the more venues we offer, the more opportunities we have to impact people and connect them with God.  Different people connect with God in different worship styles, and we continue to grow as a church as we keep on creating more opportunities for people to choose a service that connects them in worship.  So take the step to invite someone to come with you and celebrate EASTER at CENTRAL!  Invite Cards are available in the welcome Center.

 

I also want to let you know that the staff and Elders have been working very hard on finalizing plans to present to you our vision for the next five years.  We will be unveiling this on the weekend of April 6-7 in all the worship venues.  I can’t wait to share with you the God-sized vision that God has given us and how we can all be a part of making a greater impact than we have ever seen in the past.  So please plan to be here for one of our 5 services. 

 

I also want to ask you to please save the date of Sunday April 28.  We will have one service that weekend (no Saturday night service) at 10:00 am at Kendall Hall at TCNJ.  This will be an awesome time of worship, praise, and celebration as we gather together as a body to celebrate the changed lives as a result of God working through this ministry and the potential of even greater impact in the future.  We will wrap up this service with an all church BBQ picnic at Central.  It is going to be a defining moment in the history of Central, and you will not want to miss it.  More details to follow, so stay tuned.

 

See you this weekend… I cannot wait to see what God is going to do!

 

Pastor Gay
