Dear Centenary Family,
Thank you so much for your lovely cards and your outpouring of sympathy and support in the loss of my mother. She so enjoyed coming to Centenary on many occasions. She would have been so flattered at "all the fuss" you went to for her repast.
Eternally grateful,
Todd

Centenary Downtown is Reaching Out
Team Reach is working on plans to further reach out to our community and church. We are focused on building relationships with our visitors and creating opportunities for service and fellowship.
Look for some new things happening around Centenary Downtown. We are:
- Changing how we follow up with visitors.
- Recording the sermon and service every week. We are currently posting it on our CentUMC Facebook Page and soon it will be on our Centenary website.
- Exploring an additional gathering area between services for fellowship near the sanctuary.
We would love to hear your ideas. Reach out to one of our team members.
