Central's Pastoral E-Letter: Friday, August 27, 2010

Hope you are enjoying the last remnants of summer!

 

The staff has been working very hard in putting together plans for the fall kickoff!  It is definitely going to be an exciting time as we emphasize the importance of everyone at Central getting connected in community with one another...more details coming in the weeks to come.

 

I hope that you will be present this Sunday for one of our worship services!

 

Speaking of worship services, I want to inform you that as a result of the feedback that we received from our All Church Survey, the Deacons have been working for the past few months on evaluating our worship service time schedule.  We have determined that the schedule on Sunday mornings needs to be simplified and shortened so that it can be more effective for those who attend and those who serve in our children’s ministries. We also believe a shortened morning schedule can open up more of an opportunity for adults to attend a Sunday Morning Life Group if they so desire.   So, effective Sunday, September 12, we will begin a new Sunday schedule. 

 

The new schedule is as follows:

 

9:30   -  Classic and Crossroads Worship Services, Children's and Student Ministries, Adult Life Groups

11:00 -  Currents Contemporary Worship Service, Children's Ministries, Adult Life Groups

 

This will enable all of us to work on a unified schedule that we believe will be more effective for everyone.  Once again, this will take place September 12, so mark it on your calendars!

 

One last item: We desire to kick off the fall with a special All Church Prayer Event on Wednesday, September 8 at 7 pm.  Childcare will be provided with reservations in advance.  This will be a special prayer walk designed to focus on the different ministries of our Church.  I hope that you will make plans to be with us for this special time of worship and prayer as we focus our dependence on God as we begin a new year of ministry.

 

See you Sunday!

This has been a very exciting summer for our family.  We just returned from a week’s vacation and this past week moved into a different home!  We are so thankful for the way that God has provided and look forward to being back with you this Sunday and worshipping with you!  So I hope that you plan to be present as we continue our SPLASH series!  I have heard great things as to how God has used this series to impact many of you! 

 

Speaking of impact, please make sure that you mark down Wednesday, September 8 as we are calling for an All Church Time of Prayer as we lay our plans before the Lord for this new fall ministry season.  God has been doing many wonderful things in our midst this summer, and we have lots to praise Him for.  We want to also show our dependence on Him as we seek to do His ministry in His way.  So please plan to be here for this special all church event.  We know that God will be here; will you?

 

See you Sunday!
