Dear Central, I am sitting here in my office just reflecting over the different individuals who are committed to be baptized this coming weekend, and I am just thanking the Lord for His grace and how He is changing lives here at Central! This Palm Sunday weekend is going to be a powerful weekend of hope and victory. I will be preaching on Saturday night and at both Modern Services on Sunday at 9:30 and 11. We will be baptizing people in all three services. So if you are not yet baptized and God has been calling, the time is now! Just bring a change of clothes and be ready to be blessed and be a blessing to others! Jared Alcántara will be teaching in the 9:30 Classic Service. I have seen the worship plans for all the services and they are going to be powerful expressions of God’s hope and desire for all of us. So make plans to be with us. But before all that happens, tomorrow we will be hosting a Motorcycle Rally in partnership with Promise of Grace ministries. I am hearing that close to 200 bikers will be here to take off on a bike rally to Pennsylvania and then return for lunch. This rally is being held to raise funds for the home for unwed mothers right here in Ewing. Thank you to everyone who signed up to help out with this event! This week, we will worship together on Good Friday evening at 7 pm. We will be blessed by our teaching pastor, Jared Alcántara and celebrate the sacrifice of Christ at the cross. Childcare will be available from birth to five years old. Easter is coming! Invite your friends and family and come to any of our services: Saturday, April 19 at 6:00pm; and Sunday Morning, April 20 at 9:30 and 11:00am. This past weekend, we announced that the second year of the GREATER campaign will kick off on Sunday, May 4. We want to finish the first year strong and all gifts given by April 30 will be credited to your commitment for this year. We are asking everyone to bring their commitment card for this new year of GREATER on Sunday, May 4 along with your first offering. Remember the purpose of GREATER is to pay down the debt on this beautiful facility God has given to us so we can expand our ministry to the surrounding areas of Trenton, Yardley, and Pennington. Ninety percent of your gift goes to debt reduction and 10% goes to ministry expansion goals. So please pray about what God would have you do and do and let’s finish well and bring a sacrificial offering on May 4! Also, we will begin a new series called “Q & A” on May 4 that will answer your questions that you submit on Easter Sunday! I can’t wait! Other things to take note of: ~ Hey guys! Save the date! On April 26, 2014, you’re invited All In, a men’s mini-retreat that includes paintball, basketball, ping pong, and practical talks about staying pure, healthy, and happy in life and marriage. The event is from 9am to 3pm. More details to follow. ~ We are looking for team members who are gifted and equipped to serve in the following creative areas: graphics and media, drama and creative communication, and script writing. We also need technical help on Sunday morning with running the camera and the pro presenter software for the worship services. We will train you! If interested in learning more, please e-mail gperkins@cbcnj.org or mark your interest on the Connect Card. ~ Central is seeking a new Director of Children’s Ministries!
