Central's Pastoral E-Letter: June 28, 2013

 

Dear Central Family,

 

Where has the time gone?  This Sunday we will finish the month of June and continue our series Forgotten Virtues.  This weekend, Pastor Gilmer will be teaching at the Saturday night service and at the Classic and Unplugged Services on Sunday.  I will be teaching in the 9:30 and 11:00 Modern Services.  I hope you will be with us. 

 

I also want to remind you that as you prepare to be away during this summer to consider signing up for our easy online giving.  Just go to the church website www.worshipatcentral.org, click on Login on the top menu, then click on continue to Fellowship One in the popup window.  You can sign in if you already have an account or click on Sign up to create an account.  After you’ve signed in, click on Giving on the top menu, which will then give you the options of Give Now or Schedule Giving.  This is a great opportunity for you to continue your faithful stewardship even when at the beach, the mountains, or some other get away.  I love the convenience of giving in this format, and I encourage you to consider enrolling.
