Update on School Kits
Thank you to everyone who donated supplies and/or helped to assemble the school kits last Sunday. We have sent 96 school kits to Annual Conference for the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) to send to children in need around the world.
Ushers Needed
Our faithful Sunday morning worship service usher teams have suffered a number of member losses over this year. We are in desperate need of solid volunteers who would like to assist in making Centenary's worship experience more meaningful for the entire congregation. If you feel led to help us accomplish this goal, please contact the church office at 804-648-8319.
C
D's Available
CD's are available from the worship service on April 30th that featured special harp and trumpet music by Mary Walter Bircher and Craig Bircher, with Pastor Matt's sermon
Walking the Way. Please call Sharon Steele at 912-2549 if you would like one!
Help Needed
Even though we have successfully helped with the purchase of a van for our Afghan family, the mother and children of the family are still in need of assistance running errands and getting to medical appointments. We are in need of someone from Centenary to help with transportation during the month of June, since the regular "car helper" is going on vacation. In order to qualify as a volunteer, you must submit a background check and $45.00. If you would like a sponsor for this fee, see Vic and Nancy Grand, who will be able to provide assistance. You may also contact Vic and Nancy Grand,
vicgrand@verizon.net
, for further information. Thanks to all who help.

Thursday, July 6 at 7:30 pm: Theatre Outing to Shakespeare's Macbeth
A group from Centenary will be attending this Quill Theatre production at historic Agecroft Hall. In Shakespeare's darkest work, the great Scottish warrior Macbeth receives a prophecy from three mysterious hags that he will become Thane of Cawdor and then King of Scotland. But the Scottish king still lives... Macbeth's ambition wrestles with his honor, and his wife, Lady Macbeth, enlists the power of the supernatural to fulfill the witches' promise of greatness. In ancient Scotland, can nobility be bought with blood? Tickets will be between $0 and $20, depending on the size of our group. Please sign up on the bulletin board across from the kitchen.
