Pastor's Musings: Central's Pastoral E-Letter: Friday, November 8, 2013

Dear Central Family,

Greetings from Ohio where we are on a tour of colleges in the Midwest! My daughter Lydia and I are having a wonderful time checking out great schools and also reconnecting with family and friends.

Join us at Central this weekend as we continue the series TOO BUSY NOT TO PRAY where we examine and study The Lord’s Prayer. Pastor Anthony Gilmer will be teaching in the Saturday night service at 6 pm and both Sunday Modern Services at 9:30 and 11:00. Tim Loesch will be teaching in the Classic and Unplugged services.

Few Notes:

~ TONIGHT at 7 pm is Women’s Night Out! Enjoy an evening of comedy and refreshments with Christian comedian Amy Barnes from 7:00pm to 9:00pm. Childcare is available up to 5th grade.

~ GriefShare: Surviving the Holidays on Friday, November 15 is a warm, encouraging, and helpful seminar to help you deal with the intense pain of grief during the holiday season. Join us at 7:00 pm in Central Hall where I will be hosting with event along with Susan Localio who leads the GriefShare group at Central.

~ We will be having a Believer’s Baptism next Sunday, November 17^th during both Sunday Modern Services. If you would like to take this next step as a believer, please contact Pastor Anthony Gilmer at agilmer@cbcnj.org. Take the plunge… the water’s just fine!

~ 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.

Finally, thank you for your continued prayers for our family as we wait for a liver donor for Kim’s dad. As I mentioned last week, Kim’s sister Arlene is not able to be a donor, but now Kim’s other sister Mary is currently being tested to see if she can be a match. Thank you all so much for your love, prayers, support, and encouragement. It means a great deal.

God bless you all!

Pastor Gay
