“Get up and pray so that you may not enter into temptation,” (Luke 22:46). We believe that God changes us when we pray, and that God both hears us and speaks to us. So we pray a lot at Central. The pastor compiles all the joys and concerns for the church and distributes that list through a weekly email. If you have a specific prayer request or if you are interested receiving the weekly prayer list, please let the pastor know.
Prayer List
May 13-19, 2013
May 16, 2013
This is the first time in recent memory, maybe ever, that our list of thanks is equal to or greater than our list of concerns. To be sure, we have some grave concerns in our congregation. Lots of Steele Creekers are very sick. But, Denny & Mary Deal also just welcomed their grandson, Westin Russell Deal, at 12:46pm today, Tuesday, May 14. He is the son of Brian & Nikki Deal. He weighed 7lbs, 7oz, and was 20 inches long. We just baptized another beautiful baby, Beckett William Shaw, this past Sunday. We just celebrated our mothers. The weather is spectacular. God is indeed very good to us.
We also have lots of good things happening in the life of our church. We will celebrate Pentecost Sunday this Sunday morning in Church. So, wear red!!! Originally, Pentecost had the same significance as Easter and Christmas, and it still should have that. So, come celebrate the Holy Spirit among us on Sunday.
After Pentecost, we will have our Crossroads Service Sunday evening at 6:00pm. We are feeding the community at 5:15pm, so come on out, eat, and worship God. This is a very good outreach for our community.
Please be in prayer for Central’s saints who are sick. Pray that God would continue to work in our community. And, more than anything, give thanks and praise for a God whose grace is greater than all our sin. I am proud to be your Pastor.
In Christ,
Luke H. Maybry

We have just finished a very meaningful Holy Week. We heard about the triumphant entry, the Last Supper, and the crucifixion. All of that lasted for one week. Easter lasts for close to six weeks. We are in the most joyful season of the year. The weather is beautiful, the cross is adorned, and, regardless of life’s circumstances, the hope of Easter is always good. Things are unusually quiet around the Church this week, which is a very welcome change. We do, however, have several joys and concerns, to please be diligent in your prayers. I am blessed to be your Pastor.
Luke H. Maybry,

We started one of the holiest weeks in the life of the Church yesterday with Palm Sunday. there’s a lot about this week that we love, Easter, Resurrections, spring, hosannas, and hallelujahs. There’s also a lot that we hate, last suppers, blood and water, pain, agony, depravity, and death. It’s all here this week. On the Monday of Holy Week, Jesus cleansed the Temple, essentially sealing His fate. As much as we’d like it, we cannot ONLY celebrate Easter. We cannot turn our heads from the agony of the cross and the role we played in it. So, come to Church on Easter and celebrate the Resurrection but also come on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. I’ll send you daily emails to tell you what happened every day of that week. I look forward to seeing you in Church a lot this week. It’s a Holy Week that takes us to the depth of evil then to the height of the Resurrection. I am blessed to be your Pastor.
In Christ,
Luke H. Maybry
