Thoughts From The Pastor

These days, a lot of Protestant churches feel like their best days are behind them. Especially historic
downtown churches. I dont believe thats true of Central Presbyterian.
Im not the only one. Someone from outside the church who has lived in Franklin County her whole
life, and knows Central well, has told me she feels Central is on the verge of something great.
I sense it too. The last six months or so, it feels a bit like weve hit the pause button as weve dealt
with the question of the future of our rental properties. This has frustrated me, as Ive been itching to
discern and move towards the future God has for Central. But God works out his will nonetheless. And
trusting that God is about to reveal whats next for Central, the Session has named a Vision Task Force to
lead the congregation in discerning Gods will for the future of our church.
The Task Force members are: Scott Wiley (team leader), Christie Carlin, Jean Diehl, Josh Dunklebarger,
Kathy Klink, Lucille Stence, Don Wissner and me. The Task Force is already at work leading us into A Season of Vision.
The vision for Central will grow out of how the Holy Spirit has been speaking to the congregation, and
this effort will work only with your participation. Heres how you can take part in our Season of Vision:

On Sept. 13th we will kick off our Season of Vision by celebrating Vision Sunday with ONE worship
service at 10 AM in the Sanctuary. Following the service, we will gather in Friendship Hall for a
presentation and time of conversation and information-gathering with the congregation. Its really
important that you attend and I hope you will make every effort to be present. Even more important
is prayer. God already has is mind the future he wishes for us - so pray that we be open and courageous in seeking his will - even if the result stretches and tests us and makes us wonder How in the
world will we ever pull this off?

We will be sending daily devotionals by email that will help you think with the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16) and pray for the Lords vision for his church. If I can figure out a way, well distribute
them by print as well.

Beginning Sept. 30 , well have Wonderful Wednesdays for five consecutive Wednesdays. Well begin
at 6:00 PM with a simple potluck supper and then meet from 6:30-7:30 to think about the challenges
contained in the wonderful book Love Does by Bob Goff. Its a book guaranteed to stimulate creative
thinking about following the Lord Jesus Christ.

Im grateful to be part of the community of Christ followers at Central Presbyterian and look forward to
what God has in store for us! Susan and I are also grateful for the many cards, calls, flowers, meals and
other expressions of your love and concern after my fathers death. We are so glad to be part of the
loving and supporting community of Central.

Church Family
Thank you....
To the women & families at Central:
There are times in ones life when one realizes
the enormity of the gifts God has given her.
Some of those gifts might be friendships or
growing relationships, opportunities or challenges, specific moments or seasons, resources
or skills, packages or gift cards, or something
completely unexpected In my case, I am truly
humbled and completely overwhelmed by the
showering of love that you have extended to me
as I prepare to become Mrs. Adams! The
thought, generosity, care, energy, and love that
you put into my Central bridal shower was
abundant and I could not have asked for a more
beautiful or joyous afternoon! To say thank
you just doesnt seem like enough, so I am
writing it in several languages for emphasis:
THANK YOU!!! GRACIAS!!! DANKE!!!
MERCI!!! GRAZIE!!! ARIGATO!!! TAKK!!!
TODA!!! XIE XIE!!! I love you all so much
and count you as an unbelievably incredible
church family. I cant imagine taking this huge
step without your support and without you in my
life. Thank you a billion times.
Love, erin
Secretarys note: Erin Regan is the Contemporary Worship Leader/Youth Leader of Central
Presbytery Church. She & fianc Nick Adams will
marry on September 18th.

To friends and members of Central

The beautiful flowers from the Sanctuary given
by Dr. & Mrs. Raymond Anderson on August 2
were a wonderful addition to my home. They

your thoughts and well wishes. Thank you for
your ongoing Christian love.

Second Service Communion Coordinator
The worship team would like to thank Anne Miller
for her many years of service as the communion
coordinator. After filling thousands of communion
cups full of juice, cutting thousands of bread cubes,
washing and pressing communion linens and scheduling helpers to assistant, we say THANK YOU and
WELL DONE! Anne did a wonderful job noting
how to make communion better and more meaningful while serving in this role and on the worship
committee team. She did an excellent job recruiting
assistants to help her with this task, and she did so
with the love of Christ in her heart as she served
Central Presbyterian Church. As you cross paths
with Anne, please say "thank you" for her behind
the scenes work. Her impeccable attention to detail
was noted as we began the transition to our new coordinator. Her notes even had diagrams and dimensions of the size of the cut bread. It was this type of
detail that gave our new coordinator the confidence
that she could fill this role.

The worship team would like to introduce you to

our newest coordinator Sherry Sites. Sherry is our
newest member of Central, joining Palm Sunday
of this year. Sherry is from the St. Thomas area
and attends first service. Sherry is excited and
nervous all at the same time about taking on a
role that has been so well cared for by Anne.
Sherry is more than capable of handling the details of this position, but being new, she is a little
nervous about building the communion assistant
list. So, if you receive a call from a wonderful
lady named Sherry asking you to assist once or
twice a year to prepare and clean up communion,
please consider saying yes enthusiastically. You
will not regret working with Sherry nor serving
the congregation in this manner. It really is a
meaningful way to serve. Thank you in advance
of your prayerful consideration.

YOUTH
GROUP

From July 26th-August 1st, Erin and two high school youth (Destiny
Stephenson and Hannah Sharp) had the joy of attending Trinity
Youth Conference, a Presbyterian youth and young adult
conference in Schellsburg, PA! The week was full of individual spiritual growth, community worship, small group
focus, spiritual centering, Christ-centered workshops, crazy games, silly traditions, and
tons of food! (Sleep was in there somewhere, but not much J) When asked what TYC
meant to them, the highers replied: TYC is a life-changing experience where you have
chances to connect with God in many ways. You also have the chance to meet the most
incredible and most supportive people. Destiny; TYC was a place where I could meet
people who I could relate to & experience new things with.
A major incentive for Erin, as a leader, is the phone-free environment where young people
learn they are beautiful and acceptable to God.
On August 16th, we kicked off our youth group year with St. Pauls UMC at Rhodes Grove
camp! We enjoyed a zipline, a pool, a huge Slip n Slide, a rope swing, and a mud pit,
while fellowshipping with other youth and enjoying time as ONE body of Christ! Additionally, we played a silly Skittle social game, heard a proclamation of the Word, and ate to
our hearts delight! What a great day! Thanks to St. Pauls for allowing us to partner up!
August 23rd was a big day for us as we gave our mission team presentation during the
blended worship service, then enjoyed a movie night at the church! Thanks to Ann and
Tim Miller for the popcorn machine rental!
If you are interested in volunteering to help with youth group or any youth event, please
sign up on the sheet in the lobby and/or come talk to Erin! Clearances and covenant are
required to volunteer.

RED CARPET HOSPITALITY SEMINAR

CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26th ~ 9:00AM to 4:00 PM

What barriers keep visitors from our church from returning?

Every church wants their first time visitors to come back and begin to:
Find their own faith in Jesus Christ
Find a place to serve with their gifts & talents
Find a place to make a difference in advancing the kingdom of God.
But.when they dont return, you often dont know what happened.
Its frustrating to work so hard and then feel like its all in vain.
It leaves you wonderingWill our church ever reach new people for Christ?
Central is hosting this conference on behalf of Carlisle Presbytery.
And if you are interested in helping our church be warm and welcoming to
visitors, we need YOU to attend!
To register, contact Central Presbyterian Church at 717-264-4113 or you may register
online at www.carlislepby.org and click on: Red Carpet Hospitality.
FREE to attend with lunch available for purchase at the event for $7.
Guest facilitator will be Chris Walker.
Christ wants to help you increase the number of conversations that lead people towards
Christ. He has studied evangelism and church growth ever since working for a Billy
Graham crusade over 20 years ago, and has led countless training seminars throughout
North & South America in many different denominations.

Concurred with the overture to the 222nd General Assembly, sent by the Presbytery of Central
Florida, and forwarded it to the Carlisle Presbytery for their endorsement. The overture seeks
to correct how debate at General Assembly committees is unfairly manipulated to limit the
time given to dissenting voices.
