A NOTE FROM PASTOR CALVIN


Sunday, April 27, I shared with the church family a unique opportunity that I want you to pray about. As you know the Congress has voted to send each tax payer an economic stimulus check. After speaking with our Stewardship committee & looking at our present situation, I want to ask you to pray about giving those resources over & above your regular giving to the retirement of the debt on our children’s ministry portable. As we look around us & see the many new members, we recognize that one of the exciting challenges & opportunities of these days at North Central is the space issues that we face. If we move forward it will take each member to meet the needs of the future. If eighty-eight people will give the $600.00 economic stimulus over & above their tithe to the retirement of our portable debt, we can see this diminished immediately. This would be thrilling & would free up dollars that we are paying in interest for the future. To give this amount, place it in your regular offering envelope with your tithe & mark “Portable Debt Retirement,” & we will make sure to apply this to the principal of that note. What a great blessing & challenge we have before us.

Mother’s Day is going to be really, really special here at North Central. On May 11th, we plan to dedicate several children. Also, every adult lady will receive a copy of the book “Becoming a Woman of Purpose” by Cynthia Heald. This will be a great blessing as we celebrate Mother’s Day on May 11th.

We also have our Upward Awards Night on May 13th at 7:00 pm. We have a special guest from the Gators that will be here with us that night. He will really encourage our Upward athletes. Let me invite all family & friends to come & celebrate with these special children as they conclude the Upward Soccer season.

Our Awana Awards night is scheduled for Wednesday night, May 28th, following our family supper. This is one of the highlights of the year for our Puggles, Cubbies, Sparkies, T-n-T, & Trek 24/7 students. They have worked hard this year memorizing scripture & growing in their relationship with the Lord. Don’t miss this special night.

What a blessing it is to be your Pastor. We are having a wonderful time each Sunday studying the book of John & the book of James. These two great books of the Bible give us a handle to hold onto as we live the Christian life in our world. Let’s look for someone we can share the Lord with this week.

Sincerely,
Calvin J. Carr
Pastor
