Eastertide District Days
Saturday, May 11, 2 P.M.
Rappahannock and Richmond Districts
8063 Ladysmith Road
Ruther Glen, VA 22546
'Jesus was talking to us on the road'
(Luke 24:32)
Bishop Pete Weaver is inviting clergy and laity of the Virginia Conference to join him in district gatherings in May and early June.
"Jesus most often journeyed in the company of others," said Weaver. "Even in our context, we can learn from each other and practice our Christian love for each other by journeying together. I am inviting you to join me in a district gathering in May and early June so we may have conversation 'on the road' together."
He explained, "We will share in Communion, seek to care for one another, and look at the meaning of the Judicial Council decisions and their implications as your Bishop and Cabinet seek to follow the Book of Discipline which governs our church."

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.
