A great day at Central on Sunday as Sarah was baptized into Christ. What a blessing to see an individual give their life to the King of Kings! She will be an encouragement and blessing to all of us at Central.
Leadership Training for Christ kicked off last night for students in grades 3-12. If you were unable to attend the meeting, please see Robert, Debbie or Chris to get more information. Many contribute their time to help our young people as coaches, sponsors and event coordinators. Last year we had close to 100 individuals from Central involved in LTC. If you would like to help with LTC please volunteer for this great ministry.
On one of my favorite web sites this morning I saw the following story about time and schedules:
Have you seen the cartoon of the two little girls at the bus stop, chatting as they hold their personal planners? One says: "Okay, I'll move ballet back an hour, reschedule, gymnastics, and cancel piano . . . you shift your violin lesson to Thursday and skip soccer practice . . . that gives us from 3:15 to 3:45 on Wednesday the 16th to play."
Sad that our lives have been dictated by palm pilots, personnal planners and schedules. The technology and information age has forced our society to run at a rapid pace throughot the day where we don’t have any time to just slow down and talk and visit with friends, neighbors and sometimes even our own families.
Jesus had time to stop and visit with people. In his fast paced life he took the time to meet the needs of others.
On Sunday, October 2, Central will be celebrating Friend Day. A day set aside to invite a friend to worship. Spend some time this week praying for an individual that you would like to invite to worship and class on that day. Then take the time and slow down and visit with that person and allow our enthusiasm and the power of god in our lives to tell them about the great family at the Central Church.
Be in prayer for Friend Day as well as be praying for our friends. Our goal in worship is 400.
May God be glorified in our efforts!
