Pastor's Musings: Central's Pastoral E-Letter: Friday, January 3, 2014

Dear Central,

What a week this has been!

We started with our first New Year’s Eve service in years! I had the joy of joining over 200 people in our Worship Center and we literally lifted the roof off with praise and worship. We were blessed beyond imagination as we had two guest worship teams lead us to the King as we celebrated HIM! It was certainly a great way to say goodbye to 2013 and look forward with anticipation to 2014! Now, here we sit in the aftermath of winter storm Hercules, and I am very thankful it will have come and gone before the weekend activities will begin.

This weekend we will kick off a new series that will focus on how life change takes place that really lasts. We have called it the New Rules of Resolution. I can’t wait to share with you what God has given us to challenge all of us with as we seek to grow in Christ and honor Him with our lives! This weekend, I will be teaching at the Saturday Night 6 pm service and both Modern Services on Sunday Morning at 9:30 and 11:00. Our Pastor of Student Ministries, Bryan Bunagan, will be teaching in the 9:30 Classic and 11:00 Unplugged services. We will be celebrating communion in each service, so you can see we are going to start this year out with a great momentum as we move forward in growing in our walk with Christ!

Also, this Sunday (as well as the following Sunday), we will be having our LifeGroup Fair in the Fellowship Mall. Come check out the new groups that will be meeting this semester. There are groups almost every day of the week! Wednesday night groups start on January 15 and Sunday morning groups start on January 19. Most of other groups start that week as well. Come check the LifeGroup fair out and pick up a LifeGroup brochure.

The Women’s Annual Prayer Walk is coming up on Saturday, January 25^th! Start the new year off with prayer and fellowship with the women of our church. This prayer walk is indoors, so no worries about being outside in the cold. More details to come, but please save the date, ladies!

2013 Year-End Giving Statements are now available through Fellowship One. For instructions on how to access your statements, please scroll down to the bottom of this e-mail.

Finally, I want to take this time to thank everyone for all the work and effort that they put into our Christmas outreaches. Because of your diligence, literally hundreds of people felt at home through the whole month of December as a result of the lights, decorations, and all the effort that went into every program or outreach that we made to our community. Because of your generosity, hundreds of children had gifts to open on Christmas morning! Because of your servant’s hearts, hundreds of people were greeted and cared for in each service and outreach. So thank you for putting aside your agendas in order to impact others’ lives for eternity.

I thank God for all of you and am looking forward to a powerful year of growth and impact this coming New Year!

See you this weekend!

Pastor Gay
