Pastor’s NOTEs
Dear Central Family,
As Easter Sunday approaches, I want to take a moment to express my excitement for this special day. Easter is a time for renewal, hope, and reflection on both the sacrifice that Jesus made for us on the cross and His victory over sin and death.
This year, more than ever, we have a renewed appreciation for the power of faith and hope that it brings. As we gather on Easter Sunday, whether in person or virtually, let us remember the love that God has for each one of us.
Let us also take time to reflect on the past year and challenges that we have faced. Through it all, we have persevered and grown stronger thanks to the support and love of our church community.
As we continue our Lenten journey, I am looking forward to celebrating Holy Week and Easter Sunday with you all and experiencing the joy and hope that it brings. May God bless you and your loved ones during this special time.
Yours in Christ,
Rick
