Friend Day Sunday

Dear Central Member:

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."It’s sad that our lives have been dictated by palm pilots, personal planners and schedules. The technology and information age has forced our society to run at a rapid pace throughout 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 12, Central will be celebrating Bring A 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 of Christ.

We will begin Friend Day with Bible Class at 9:15 a.m. A short period of fellowship at 10:00 a.m., then worship beginning at 10:30 a.m. We will have a cookout at noon (hamburgers/hotdogs provided). Please bring side dishes to share with the family and friends. After our lunch, we will have a short devotional around 1:00 p.m. to end the day.Be in prayer for Friend Day as well as be in prayer, also, for our friends.
May God be glorified in our efforts!

The Elders of the Central Church of Christ
