Central's Pastoral E-Letter: Friday, November 15, 2013

 

Dear Central Family,

 

I cannot wait till this weekend!  I have greatly missed being with my Central family the past two Sundays and look forward to worshipping with you and sharing the message God has put on my heart regarding forgiveness.  I will be teaching in the Saturday night service as well as both Modern Services at 9:30 and 11:00 on Sunday. Our Teaching Pastor Jared Alcántara will be teaching on Sunday at the Classic and Unplugged services.  I hope you will make it a priority to be with us for one of our five services.  I believe the extent that we grab hold and apply the truths we will be sharing this weekend will determine our growth individually and corporately as a body.  So please plan to come.

 

We will be having a Believer’s Baptism this Sunday (Nov. 17) during both Sunday 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! 

 

Come join us for the Men’s Breakfast tomorrow (Saturday, Nov. 16) at 8 am!  The speaker will be Helmut M. Hensel, president and founder of Ironworks Taekwondo Academy which help kids and young adults reach their full potential through sports, mentoring and personal development.

 

Please join us for Central’s Thanksgiving Dinner on Sunday, November 24 at 6 pm. Cost is $4 per person and $20 max per family. Children 3 and under are free. Tickets can be purchased at the table in the Fellowship Mall or you can go to this THIS LINK and use your Fellowship One log-in.  (If you do not have a log-in, you can create one). 

 

Thank you for your generosity!  This past month you gave just above $8,000 to support our project to finish the orphanage in Haiti and gave over $1,800 for Choice One Crisis Pregnancy Center.  The folks at Choice One told us this was half of the total they have raised thus far in the fall baby bottle campaign.  We are a blessed people and you show your heart for others as you reach out to others.  During the holiday time period you will have two more opportunities to minister God’s grace to those in need: first, the Central Christmas Store this week, then next Sunday, Project Angel Tree.  Your giving gifts in the name of Christ impact so many, so thank you for planning to use your resources to impact children at this special time of the year.

 

One last note: we are really excited about the upcoming Christmas season and all that we have planned in order to worship our Savior and extend His love to others in our community.  Stay tuned, as details will be revealed the weekend of December 1. 

 

See you this weekend!

 

Pastor Gay
