Your kindness to us has been overflowing again and again. Many thanks for your continuing love and prayers. Charles will be moving mid-June to Elmcroft of Chesterfield (Apt. 170, 1000 Twinridge Lane, Richmond, VA 23235). I will be at our house with help until it's time for me to go home. 

We send our love,

Centenary Movies:  The Reaching Committee thanks everyone for all the suggestions concerning Centenary's Summer Movies Series and we will attempt to accommodate many of these ideas. We plan to present a variety of classic and new movies on a variety of nights from June through September. We hope you will join us. Our first selection will be shown Wednesday, June 27, 2018, at 6:30 p.m. in the fellowship hall and will be The Greatest Showman, staring Hugh Jackman. Inspired by the imagination of P.T. Barnum, The Greatest Showman is based on an original musical that celebrates the birth of show business and tells of a visionary who rose from nothing to create a spectacle that became a worldwide sensation. Nominated for Best Motion Picture-Musical or Comedy at the Golden Globe Awards. Hope to see you there (...we'll bring the soda and popcorn!!!!)
 

Sight and Sound Theatre Trip:   We have 17 Centenarians registered for the trip to the Sight & Sound Theater for Thursday, September 27.  We have openings for 5 more participants.  The trip leaves from Lakeside UMC at 7 a.m. and returns at 11 p.m.  We will enjoy good food, fellowship, a wonderful live play and safe travel on a motor coach.  Sign up today!  If you are interested in going on the trip to see the live production of  JESUS , please pick up a registration form on the bulletin board across from the kitchen and send your check for $160.00 to Bob Almond as soon as possible.  If you have any questions, please call Bob at 804-833-3355 or email at bob.almond@verizon.net.


Canned Goods and Non-perishables Collection:  The Smethie Circle would like you to join us in collecting canned goods and non-perishable items for The Doorways, formerly known as The Hospitality House.  It provides lodging and kitchen facilities for families of children undergoing medical procedures. Dear little Brandon Herman from St. Lucia, lived at The Doorways during his medical treatment by The World Pediatric Project. He and his Mother Sophia attended Centenary and we fell in love with them. We would like for this project to be in his memory.   We will begin our collection in June and continue through the summer. Containers will be placed outside the Ladies' Parlor and in the Social Hall.  Thank you for helping to keep the memory of Brandon alive by continuing to serve other children and their families as they make The Doorways  home while undergoing medical treatment.


Rise Against Hunger Meal Packing Event:   On  Saturday, June 23,  we will gather in the fellowship hall (no later than 8:45 a.m.) to pack meals to provide for families in distressed areas of the world. This is a wonderful time for fellowship and commitment to missions. Bring family, friends, and neighbors. Join in the fun! (Reminder: Wear a hat or use a hairnet).
