Who is Jesus? 


There are many historical, doctrinal and cultural answers to this question, but for most of us who call ourselves Christian the important answer relates not to doctrine or history but to how we experience Jesus in our own lives. In her book Freeing Jesus: Rediscovering Jesus as Friend, Teacher, Savior, Lord, Way, and Presence, Diana Butler Bass shares her personal experiences of Jesus and invites us to reflect on and perhaps enlarge our understanding of Jesus in our own lives. You are invited to share in this journey in a six week class facilitated by Pat Shipley on Sunday mornings, beginning at 9:00 am on Sunday, May 12. The book is available from Amazon with the Kindle edition currently only $2.99!

Volunteers Needed

We need volunteers to serve ice cream at the Mission Fair. 11:15-12:30.

Please contact the church office if you would like to help.

Mission Opportunity

The Doorways


The Serving Team would like to invite the congregation to bring donations of non-perishable food items in support of The Doorways. The Doorways provides lodging and support for patients and their families who need to be close to hospitals but not far from the feeling of “home.”  For a complete list of items they can accept, click here.

Donations will be accepted until May 19.

Reception to Celebrate Izzy Spiers

April 21 following worship


On Izzy's last Sunday at Centenary, join us at a reception following the worship. This will be a chance to say farewell, meet his new wife, Jensen, and send them off with our congratulations and best wishes! Hope you will join us!


Welcome Adella Barrett!


We invite you to join the Staff Parish Relations Team in a warm welcome to Adella Barrett, our new Coordinator of Ministry to Seniors, on Sunday, May 5 at 9:30 am. We plan to gather in the Fellowship Hall before the service to “meet and greet” Adella and to enjoy a light continental breakfast. This is a wonderful opportunity for the entire congregation to extend its hospitality to Adella.
