Dear Central Family, Christmas is here at Central! From the moment that you drive up to the church and walk into the Fellowship Mall, you will see that Christmas has arrived. We are very excited about all of the different opportunities that we are going to have to celebrate the greatest gift of all: the gift of Christ. So here we go! This weekend, we will begin a brand new series of messages based on the themes of the well-known Christmas classic, The Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. No one can read or watch this story and not be impacted about how we can learn about forgiveness of our past, purpose for our present, and hope for the future. Each week until the new year, we are going to show how Jesus fulfills every part of the longing of our hearts. This is a great opportunity for you to bring friends to any of our five worship services. This weekend I will be teaching at our Saturday night service and both Modern Services on Sunday. Jared Alcántara, our Teaching Pastor, will be teaching at the Classic and Unplugged services. So plan to invite someone to come with you – we have invite cards available in the Welcome Center for you to give out during the week. A few other things coming up for you to mark on your calendar Central Christmas Store Saturday, December 14, 10 am to 2 pm This service and outreach opportunity is a way for those in our community experiencing severe financial hardship to maintain their dignity while providing gifts for their children. Visit the Christmas Store table in the Fellowship Mall and sign out a tag to purchase an unwrapped gift for the store. You can also sign up to volunteer in a number of ways from donating supplies, setting up beforehand, or working in the store. You can also sign up to volunteer by clicking on this link. Questions? Contact Toni Campbell at cc@cbcnj.org.
