Central's Pastoral E-Letter: Friday, October 11, 2013

 

 

Dear Central Family,

 

Hope you are enjoying some of the fall weather we’ve been having! 

 

This weekend, we will continue the series called GHOST STORIES where we learn about the person and power of the Holy Spirit in our lives.  Pastor of Worship and Mission Jeremy Bell will be teaching on Saturday night and in both Modern Services on Sunday while Teaching Pastor Jared Alcántara will be giving the message in the Classic and Unplugged services.

 

In addition, we will be doing baptisms in both the 9:30 and 11:00 Modern Services. If you want to take the next step as a believer and be baptized, just bring a change of clothes and come to the office area during either of our Modern Worship Services.  Take the plunge… the water’s just fine! 

 

Few other notes:

 

~ The Women’s Expo is tomorrow (Saturday, October 12) from 10am to 12 noon.  Come join the Women's Ministry for mini workshops on health, stress management, time management, and finance and also learn about upcoming events! Childcare is available. See you there, ladies!

 

~ We need hats!  Over the next two weekends, CommunityConnections will be collecting winter/knit hats (mostly men’s) for the next Meals & More event at the Salvation Army.  Also, there are still baby bottles that you can fill with spare change to benefit ChoiceOne and we still have tickets people can take to buy supplies for Preservation House welcome baskets.  Please drop off hats, baby bottles, and Preservation House items by Sunday, October 20 at the bins in the Fellowship Mall.  For more information, please e-mail Toni Campbell at singsong40@hotmail.com

 

~ Join us on Friday, October 25 at 7:00pm for a Night of Worship! We will be having a gospel-infused worship service featuring special guests.  Admission is free and there will be childcare available up to age 5. For more details, please e-mail Pastor Anthony Gilmer at agilmer@cbcnj.org

 

~ It’s not too late to go to the Men’s Retreat! The retreat will be next weekend, October 18th to 20th at Sandy Cove Conference Center in North East, Maryland.  The theme is “The Cure: What if God isn’t who you think He is and neither are you?” Please e-mail Pastor Anthony Gilmer at agilmer@cbcnj.org if you are interested in going.  

 

I ask for your prayers as I am currently away with my wife Kim and her family at the Cleveland Clinic where her dad is awaiting a liver transplant.  We are waiting for final testing for Kim’s sister to be approved as a liver donor.  Please pray for her dad to be strengthened and also for the upcoming potential transplant procedure.  Thank you so much!
