November Calendar

FOOD in NOVEMBER

Jesus said "I have food you know nothing about..." Whether it was a wedding feast, a parable about fruit, or a mass miracle for a bunch of hungry people, our Lord seems to constantly be talking about FOOD. Traditionally, November is a month that America seems to center around that theme as well. For the first 3 fridays of the month leading up to the Thanksgiving the Central Campus will be doing its own mini-series on food. Nov. 6th: FOOD 4THE SOUL: Brian Tan leads us in an investigation of spiritual eating. Nov. 13th: FOOD 4THE BODY: NIck Garcia puts his Nutrition degree to use as he teaches us about how to properly care for our temples. Nov.20th: FOOD 4 OTHERS: Yaminah Jackson & her Community Outreach team will set us up to prepare meals for the homeless to be delivered the next morning.

FALL CAMPUS RETREAT: "CRAVE"

450 campus disciples & 150 friends met at the intersection of whole-hearted searching & Holy Spirit in Magic Mountain country this past weekend. The campus band rocked the Hyatt ballroom with worship from a variety of musical genres: rock, reggae, R&B, rap, old spirituals & even older hymns. Gainesville's Troy & Kim Chris came loaded with faith and Spirit-led messages that cut straight to the heart. 2 students gave their lives to Christ & were baptized in the Hyatt pool and many more are on their way. In the Central we were amazed at what God did in our women's ministry: our 16 bold sisters had 18 guests at the retreat!
