Celebrating 125 Years of History at Central Baptist Church

On October 28, 2018, the members and friends of Central Baptist Church came together to celebrate 125 years of God's faithfulness and the faithfulness of His people. We divided the month-long celebration into four emphases. We celebrated our unity in Christ with our brothers and sisters from St. Paul Baptist Church, had a missionary speak about his family’s global involvement and impact on Missionary Sunday, and heard stories about the impact of Sunday School from the adults and children who learned there. On the last Sunday, we celebrated our Christian and denominational commitment.
When I travel around the world, I am reminded that the followers of Jesus have been around for more than 2,000 years. That longevity does not come from American Christianity, though—whether you start with Catholic monks or the Puritans, we have less than 500 years of Christian faith here. Catholics, Orthodox, and Coptic Christians can claim millennial history, but Protestantism is the young child of historic Christianity and it is still enthused, untried in many ways, and looking positively to the future.

HIGHLANDS, NJ – Highlands and Atlantic Highlands residents will embrace their inner “elf” when Henry Hudson Regional students present their production of Elf, The Musical JR. The show features many of the students, from our middle school, and premieres on November 30th and closes on December 1st.
Elf, The Musical JR. is an uplifting musical about one person’s quest to find their true identity. The musical tells the story of a young orphan who mistakenly crawls into Santa's bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole. The would-be elf is given the name Buddy and raised by elves in the North Pole. Buddy lives happily unaware that he is actually a human until his enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth. With Santa's permission, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father and discover his true identity. Faced with the harsh reality that his father is on the naughty list, and his stepbrother doesn't even believe in Santa, Buddy is determined to win over his new family and help New York remember the true meaning of the holidays.
