Central's Pastoral E-Letter: May 10, 2013

 

Dear Central Family,

 

I hope that you are going to be with us this weekend as we continue our series Getting Past Your Past.  We are looking at the subject of control and the joy and peace that awaits us when we truly learn to let go of trying to run our lives.  Tough, challenging lessons, but so liberating!  I will be teaching in the Modern Services on Saturday night at 6:00 and Sunday morning at 9:30 and 11:00.  Dave Buschman, chaplain at Princeton University, will be teaching in both the 9:30 Classic and the 11:00 Unplugged services.  So you have one of five different services to choose from, depending on which style of worship you most connect with God. 

 

I also want to encourage you to check out our new Unplugged service at 11:00.  I had the opportunity to teach in that service last Sunday, and if you are looking for a warm, inviting, café style environment to worship and grow, this service is for you!  We have remodeled Adult 1-3 into what we are now calling Central Hall and it is the perfect environment for this service.  So give it a try, and let me know what you think.

 

I am thankful for the way that God is working through our body to give to both the general fund and our GREATER vision campaign.  If you have not yet made a commitment to help us eliminate our building debt and expand our vision, please pick up a commitment card in the Welcome Center.  If you have made a commitment, you can start to give online or by marking your check GREATER and putting it in the offering.  Thank you for your generosity!

 

A couple of things this weekend:

 

~ Due to projected rain on Saturday, the Mother’s Day Car Wash has been CANCELLED.  Sorry ladies! 

 

~ Life Group Fair this Sunday at the Fellowship Mall!  Get connected and come check out the new groups being offered this summer.  For a list of groups, click here.

 

Finally, I would ask you to pray for the family of Paige Aiello as they grieve her passing.  Paige would have graduated from The College of New Jersey next week.  I would also ask you to please pray for the entire TCNJ family as they process this tragedy.  May the God of comfort comfort those who are hurting.

 

Hope to see you this weekend!

 

Pastor Gay
