Pastor's Musings: Central's Pastoral E-Letter: Friday, January 17, 2014

Dear Central Family,

We will continue our series the New Rules of Resolution this week and I believe the topic we are going to focus on is so misunderstood in being a fully committed follower of Christ. What is it? You will have to come to find out! I will be teaching at the Saturday night 6 pm service and both Modern Services on Sunday. Jared Alcántara will be teaching in the 9:30 Classic service and the 11:00 Unplugged service.

This is also the weekend we kick off our new LifeGroup semester! You can check out this link for the variety of different options you have to choose from. Take the step to go beyond just attending a worship service and get connected in community by attending one of our Life Groups. It truly is the path to growth.

One of these LifeGroups is Financial Peace University. Looking for practical advice on saving, spending, debt, and investing? Whether you are well-off or struggling, Financial Peace will help you unpack practical and relevant truths straight from the Bible. The group starts this Sunday, January 19 at 9:30 am in Adult 4. Sign up by clicking here.

Do you want to learn more about Central and/or do you want to become a member? If yes, then come to Discover Central. The class will meet over four weeks starting this Sunday, January 19 at 9:30 am in Adult 3. If you would like to attend, you can click here to sign up or you can e-mail Pastor Anthony Gilmer at agilmer@cbcnj.org.

Few other things to keep in mind that coming up:

~ Men's Breakfast tomorrow at 8 am! Speaker is Neil Hall, also known as Dunamis, a dynamic and talented gospel reggae artist who attends Central with his family. To find out more about Dunamis, check out his website.
