Dear Central Family, Happy Memorial Day Weekend! I hope that you will join us this weekend as we wrap up our Q and A series. I will be teaching in the 9:30 Classic Service on the topic, “What happens after you die?” while my buddy Pastor Bryan Bunagan, our Pastor of College and Student ministries, will be teaching on the question “Where is God in pain and suffering?” I want to encourage you to come and join us as we seek to enter into what God has to say to all of us on these important topics. Jeremy and Stephanie Bell would like to thank you for your outpouring of love and kindness! We helped them pack up the moving truck on Wednesday and they are now on their way to their new home. Their new address is 2523 Spring Harbor Circle, Apt 4, Mount Dora, FL 32757. Life Group Fair this Sunday in the Fellowship Mall! The Life Group summer session begins on Sunday, June 1 and there are groups offered on Sunday morning and during the week. Stop by the fair, check out the groups, and pick up a brochure. Help us honor Jared and Jen Alcántara! As many of you know, our Teaching Pastor Jared Alcántara and his family will be moving to the Chicago area this summer so that Jared can begin his teaching position at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. Sunday, June 15 will be the last Sunday that Jared preaches and we want to surprise them with a special reception and gift. So please keep this a secret and do not tell them. We want to send them off with a shower of gift cards as they are preparing to set up their new home and get settled in. So if between now and June 13 you would purchase a gift card to any place you think would bless them and drop it off at the church in the Welcome Center, we will add these to our gift basket we are preparing for their family to present to them on June 15. Think of places that would be helpful to them as they set up their home as well as restaurants or cards for the kids. Just have fun and let’s shower them with blessings as they have blessed all of us. We will have a reception for the Alcántaras in between the 9:30 and 11:00 services in the Fellowship mall on June 15. So, please keep it a secret. If you have questions, feel free to contact Irene Knott at the church office at iknott@cbcnj.org We as a church are excited to be able to host high school students who will be visiting the US from Norway with our missionaries Thor and Kate Odland. We are looking for host homes from Tuesday, June 24 to Saturday, June 28. The students have events planned every day, and as a host, you are only responsible to transport them to Central, host them at night after their daily activities, and give them breakfast before they leave each morning. If you host, please sign up in the Welcome Center or on the Connect Card. Save the date for the Annual Business Meeting and All Church Fellowship Lunch on Sunday, June 22 at 12:30pm in Allen Hall. Celebrate with us as to what God has done this past year. New officers will be elected and the budget for the upcoming year will be presented. Lunch and childcare will be provided. Registration link will be sent out shortly. Mark your calendars for Kids Camp Ewing on Monday, July 21 to July 25. Registration for kids starts on June 22. We will be building volunteer teams for arts and crafts, security, food, crew leaders and Bible time. If interested, please contact Stephanie Earle at searle@cbcnj.org or Laurie Brett D’Costa at laurbuckets@verizon.net Thank you to everyone who served at Central Cares Day! We heard so many wonderful stories of lives touched and saw pictures that spoke volumes of the love you shared. We are so thankful for the love, compassion, and willingness to put others’ needs first that you show here at Central. Special thanks to the CommunityConnections team who did a fantastic job of organizing the event and for helping our church leave the building! We still need your pictures of your high school senior! Parents, we would like to commemorate the graduation of your high school senior in a video display this June. Please send high quality photos of your student and your family to Pastor Bryan at bbunagan@cbcnj.org. Senior portraits, candids, and funny pictures are welcome! Just a reminder as you look to travel this summer, we depend on your faithful gifts to this ministry for us to be able to impact people here and around the world. A great way to make sure your giving is consistent is to use the online giving option located on our website. We use the online option to give as a family, as it is quick, easy, fully secure, and confidential. Thank you for being faithful in your giving. See you this weekend! Pastor Gay |
