Dear Central Family, Spring has sprung! Thank God for that! I also thank God for the response we are getting to our new message series, Forget You…Less of You, More of Him! This week, we will continue on the path of Christ’s desire for all of us and we will examine what He has to teach us about focus in the area of prayer. What does He desire, and how can we see this area grow in our lives? Jared Alcántara will be teaching in the Classic service at 9:30 and I will be teaching on Saturday night and Sunday at both Modern Services at 9:30 and 11:00. Other upcoming events: ~ Please pray for the members of the Haiti team as they travel back home tomorrow. We can’t wait to hear about their time at Fort Liberté! ~ Artists… there’s still time to submit a piece to the special art display for Lent. The theme is “Less of Me, More of Him,” and the pieces are currently displayed in the Fellowship Mall for the next few weeks. Pencil/pen, paint, photography, poetry, and digital mediums will be accepted. If interested in submitting a piece, call or text Pastor Bryan at (201) 638-8319 or email him at bbunagan@cbcnj.org. ~ On Saturday, April 12, Community Connections team is sponsoring a special Motorcycle Rally for Promise of Grace Ministries to benefit a local home for unwed mothers. Service openings include greeting, lunch prep/serving, setup/cleanup, and security. Check out www.promiseofgrace.org to learn more about the ministry. Signups begin the weekend of March 29-30 in the Fellowship Mall. ~ Believer’s Baptism will be held Palm Sunday weekend, April 12-13 at both Saturday and Sunday services! Don't miss out on this exciting opportunity to publicly express your faith in Christ! If you are interested in getting baptized, please sign up through the Connect Card or e-mail Pastor Anthony Gilmer at agilmer@cbcnj.org. Orientation for baptism will be on April 6 in Adult 3 at 10:30am. ~ Join us for our Good Friday service on April 18 at 7 pm. This will be a special time of worship and communion as we reflect on Christ’s sacrifice. Childcare will be available from birth to 5 years old. For those who were not here last weekend, we announced that Stephanie Earle, our Director of Children’s Ministry is going to be stepping down from her position in June. She and Jason are expecting a little girl in July and we are excited about this next chapter of their lives. Stephanie has done a great job in ministering to children and adult volunteers the past two years and we will miss having her in that role. We are now looking to fill that role and if you are interested, please send your resume to Irene Knott at iknott@cbcnj.org We will be honoring Stephanie in the weeks to come, but for now, when you see her, thank her for her service for the kingdom! I hope you will be with us this weekend! I know that God has something in store for all of us as we focus on Him and his heart for us! Pastor Gay |
