Greetings Pastors,
On October 11th at 11:00 A.M. we will have the opportunity to come together as spiritual leaders of the Christian Church throughout the Central Area. October has been designated as “Ministerial Appreciation Month” and our Area/ Regional leadership is so very grateful for the work done, the lives changed, and the mission of the church carried out through the efforts that each of you put forth in the name of Jesus Christ.
Therefore, on October 11th New Hope Christian Church will be hosting a Central Area Clergy Appreciation Luncheon at 11:00 am. The lunch will be catered by members of New Hope Christian Church located at 12323 South Pennsylvania, OKC.
Since it is an “appreciation luncheon” the meal will be provided at no cost. All we ask is that you RSVP to New Hope by Tuesday, October 9th so adequate preparation can be made for the meal.
At your convenience you may RSVP either by email or telephone to newhopeccokc@sbcglobal.net or (405) 691-5366 by Tuesday, October 9th, 1:00 pm.
We look forward to the time of sharing and saying “Thank You” for your ministries and leadership. (Please remember to RSVP so we don’t stress out our executive chef!)
Blessings!
Steve Chambers, Central Area Moderator
