Dear Central Family, The pace of activity is pretty high around here this week as we get ready for Kids Camp next week! I hope you have taken time to invite all your friends and family who have children to come and participate. You can tell them to register by coming on Monday night at 6 pm. It is going to be a rocking time of learning about what it means to be a child of the KING! We also need help this weekend with Kids Camp setup and decorating. If anyone can help on Saturday (tomorrow), please come at 2 pm. On Sunday, we will begin after the services. Lunch will be provided and child care from birth to age 5 will be available from 12:30 to 2:30 pm. Children from kindergarten and up will be asked to help. Also, we need shoeboxes (about 30) and a working fountain (we can take more than one). If you have any questions, please e-mail Stephanie Earle at searle@cbcnj.org. I also want to let you know that we are offering a free Parenting Seminar during the whole week we have called, “Am I Messing Up My Kids?” Each night will feature a special guest speaker and will deal with aspects of rearing healthy children. My wife Kim and I will be hosting this seminar and look forward to what we are all going to learn! We will meet from 6:30 to 8:15 pm each night, so you can come, drop off your kids and then come to Adult 3 (formerly called the Board Room) for a fun night of enrichment! For a list of speakers and topics, please scroll down below. This weekend we will continue our series on the Beatitudes, and we will all be learning what it means to be blessed and persecuted. These are two terms that seem to contradict themselves, but you will be surprised how Jesus wants to work through our lives when we are willing to trust Him! I will be teaching on Saturday Night and at both Modern Services. Our Teaching Pastor Jared Alcántara will teach in the Classic and Unplugged services. So plan to come and be challenged and blessed! Please note that the Classic Service will be meeting in Central Hall this Sunday (instead of Allen Hall) to help us set up for Kids Camp in Allen Hall. As part of our services this weekend, we are going to be taking a special offering for our team that is traveling to Porto Velho, Brazil for evangelism from July 30 to August 9. The following people have committed to serve: Ray Abashkaron, Joe Anstatt, Jeremy Bell, Kate Berrien, Michelle Domboski, Staci Gibison, Mike Groop, Moses Knott, Nikema Missouri, and Shantell Missouri. They have been raising their own support but are still a long way off from having all their needs met. We ask you to please ask God what He would like you to do to help them fulfill their step of obedience to our King. Just mark BRAZIL on your check and we will see that it gets to these individuals’ support. Thank you for your sacrifice. Finally, please pray for our church as we start this week of Kids Camp, that kids will come with open hearts, that our staff team will be energized and creative as they present the truth of God’s love, and that children will trust Jesus as their Savior. We need you to pray for true fruit to remain. Thanks! See you this weekend!
