Central's Pastoral E-Letter: June 21, 2013

Dear Central, This is going to be an exciting weekend as we continue our series Forgotten Virtues. We continue to study what Jesus had to say in Matthew 5 to all of us today. I will be teaching on Saturday night at 6:00 and on Sunday morning in the Classic at 9:30 and Unplugged at 11:00. Anthony Gilmer, our Pastor of Spiritual Development, will be teaching at both the 9:30 and 11:00 Modern Services. I hope you will plan to be present at one of our five services. I also want to encourage you with the arrival of summer that this is a great time to check out one of different worship venues. Our Saturday night service continues to grow in appeal as people have busy Sunday schedules. The laid back atmosphere in the Fellowship Mall provides a great setting for powerful worship and challenge from the Word of God, which is a perfect way to end a busy Saturday. In addition, our new Sunday Unplugged service continues to meet the needs of many people who are just looking for a relaxed, coffee shop atmosphere on Sunday morning at 11:00 in our newly-remodeled Central Hall. From the time you walk in the door and grab some delightful refreshments and then take your seat, you will just feel the stress lift off you as you enjoy the fellowship of others who want to glorify Jesus. So come and check it out, as it will be something I am sure you will benefit from. Several exciting things are coming up! ~Registration for Kids Camp is open! If you would like to register your children, you can go to the link below or stop by the Kids Camp table this Sunday in the Fellowship Mall. Kids Camp dates are July 22 to 26. http://www.planetreg.com/E412141152626 ~We’re still looking for Kids Camp volunteers! If you can serve, please e-mail Laurie Brett at lbrett@gtbhc.org or stop by the Kids Camp table. ~Men’s Breakfast tomorrow (Saturday), June 22 at 8 am! Dr. Charles Flores gives you great insights on how to take care of your body, soul, and spirit. Dr. Flores is a local physician (he and his wife attend Central) with a passion for helping men take better care of their health. ~We will be having a baptism on Sunday, June 30 at the Modern Services! If you are interested in getting baptized, please e-mail Pastor Anthony Gilmer at agilmer@cbcnj.org. ~Please RSVP to the Annual Business Meeting and All Church Lunch that will be held on Sunday, June 30 at 12:15 pm.

Central's Pastoral E-Letter: June 14, 2013

Dear Central Family, I am looking forward to this weekend as we continue our series, Forgotten Virtues, from the Beatitudes of Matthew 5. This weekend we will be examining what Jesus says about the trait of meekness. I think it will surprise you to understand what Jesus is really saying in this passage. I will be teaching at both Sunday Modern Services at 9:30 and 11:00, our Teaching Pastor Jared Alcántara will be teaching at the 9:30 Classic and 11:00 Unplugged services, and I have asked my friend Al Brown to teach on Saturday night at our 6 pm service. Al is a graduate of Cairn University (formerly Philadelphia Biblical University), and is an experienced pastor and preacher who has a tremendous heart for people and for God’s Word. Those of you who attend on Saturday night will be blessed. Please note that just for this week, we will be moving the Saturday night service location to Central Hall. The temporary move is because of this Saturday’s homegoing celebration in the Worship Center for Roland Thompson who was a longtime member and leader at Central. I appreciate your prayers for the Thompson family that God will comfort them in the days ahead. Our Annual Business Meeting and All Church Lunch will be held on Sunday, June 30 at 12:15 pm. The agenda includes: a ministry review, election of officers, and the presentation of the 2013-14 budget. Suggested donation for lunch is $3 a person and children 8 and under eat free. Please RSVP using this link. Childcare is available from birth to 5th grade *with prior reservation* (please indicate names and ages of your children in your response). As I mentioned above, we will be electing new officers at the June 30th meeting. The names of the nominees for the positions will be posted at the church this Sunday, which is two weeks before the vote as required by our constitution. In addition to the list of names, an e-mail will be sent out with pictures and brief bios of the nominees so you can get to know them before you vote. The Men’s Breakfast is coming up on Saturday, June 22 at 8 am! Come and enjoy an all you can eat breakfast as Dr. Charles Flores gives you great insights on how to take care of your body, soul, and spirit. Dr. Flores is a local physician (he and his wife attend Central) with a passion for helping men take better care of their health. We are very excited for Kids Camp which will be held July 22 to 26! As you know, we need lots of volunteers to make this outreach a successful one. If you can serve, please e-mail Laurie Brett at lbrett@gtbhc.org or stop by the Kids Camp table at the Fellowship Mall this Sunday. Have you seen the amazing sign for Kids Camp in the Fellowship Mall? Thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus, who was an example to all of us of meekness personified! See you this weekend! Pastor Gay |

Central's Pastoral E-Letter: June 7, 2013
|
Dear Central, There is so much to be thankful for today! First, the overwhelming reports that we are getting from your service at Central Cares Day are so very exciting and encouraging! Thank you for getting out of your chairs and DOING SOMETHING! The light is shining brightly because of your obedience! Second, Pastor Gilmer and Elder Dan Libby led a very energetic and enthusiastic focus group this week as we look at making plans to put together a new leadership team for our Women's Ministry. I am thankful for the way women came together with heartfelt passion and brainstormed ideas. Keep watching for more details! Third, so many of you have been giving consistently to our Greater Campaign. Thank you for your faithfulness and for getting us off to a good start. Remember you can give by check (indicate Greater in the memo) or by going online. Personally, I love our online giving option, because it is so easy to use! If you need help with online giving, just give our office a call and Irene will walk you through the process. Finally, I am thankful for the new series we are kicking off this weekend! We are calling it Forgotten Virtues and it will be an in-depth study of what can be found in Matthew 5 and are known as the Beatitudes. We will be examining how practical and heart-challenging each of these promises that Christ makes to each of us. Our Teaching Pastor, Jared Alcántara, will teach in both the Classic at 9:30 and the Unplugged at 11:00. I will be teaching Saturday night at 6 and both Modern Services at 9:30 and 11:00. I hope you will plan to come and bring a friend along with you. Let me offer you a challenge: no matter which worship service you attend, come on over to the Worship Center and check out the stage set up for this series… we are all very excited about it! Here is my challenge: see if you can find one item on the stage that has been around for a long time, but we haven’t seen it for a long time. The first person to guess (staff and praise team are not included—sorry guys!) and email me the correct answer will get a prize. So let me know. A few things to keep in mind: ~Kids Camp will be held on July 22 to 26! We are going to need an army of people to make this event a successful one, so we need volunteers! If you can serve, please e-mail Laurie Brett at lbrett@gtbhc.org or stop by the Kids Camp table at the Fellowship Mall this Sunday. ~Men’s Breakfast on Saturday, June 22 at 8 am! Come and enjoy an all you can eat breakfast as Dr. Charles Flores gives you great insights on how to take care of your body, soul, and spirit. Dr. Flores is a local physician (he and his wife attend Central) with a passion for helping men take better care of their health. ~Our Annual Business Meeting and All Church Lunch will be held on Sunday, June 30 at 12:15 pm! A delicious meal prepared by our excellent chefs will be served which will then be followed by our business meeting. The agenda includes: a ministry review, election of officers, and the presentation of the 2013-14 budget. Suggested donation for lunch is $3 a person and children 8 and under eat free. Please RSVP using this link. Childcare is available from birth to 5th grade *with prior reservation* (please indicate names and ages of your children in your response). See you this weekend! Anticipating God to do great things! Pastor Gay |
