Sundays at 10:30am

In person and online.

Facebook is back! We have added our Sunday morning worship livestream back to our Facebook page. Facebook is able to have automated close captioning which we hope will be helpful! Unfortunately, we do still have issues with Facebook muting some of our music. This doesn't always happen, but if you choose to watch our live stream through Facebook, please be aware that we have no control if the audio cuts out during the musical portions. 

We now also offer a live stream of the worship service on our website. This does not have closed captioning or the wonderful interactive opportunities of Church Online , but it does offer an easy way to watch the service on your phones.

We continue to recommend Church Online as our preferred viewing platform.

It offers the best viewing experience, along with opportunity to chat with our

online community and access the bulletin and Bible with one click!

The Chosen

Join us Sunday mornings, following our 10:30am worship service, as we gather in the social hall to watch The Chosen.  

This week's episode: Reckoning:

We are reacquainted with a character from Season 1, Quintus, who had ordered that Jesus be detained for questioning. As the Romans arrive to take him away, the disciples display a variety of very human responses. They’re also uncertain how to react when they encounter the healed paralytic and his Ethiopian friend (also from Season 1) who are singing the praises of Jesus.

Because of the Richmond Marathon, the service for Herman Daly, father of Karen Daly Junker, has been moved to 4 p.m. here at Centenary this Saturday, November 12.

If you plan to arrive at the church after 3:10 p.m., you should be able to find parking in the church parking lot or nearby on the street. Other parking is also available at 5th and Broad and the parking deck at 2nd and Grace Street.

Sunday, November 20

We will celebrate our staff!

We will be having a reception to recognize our staff at Centenary on Sunday, November 20, after the service. Don’t forget to show your appreciation for our staff by contributing to our Staff Appreciation fund no later than this Sunday or by Tuesday, Nov. 15 online and by writing notes and placing them in the basket at the back of the sanctuary. Sign up downstairs on the bulletin board if you are willing to bring finger food for the reception. This week we are highlighting another three of our staff members at Centenary UMC.

Al Richardson has been our facilities manager for the past 37 years. When asked what he likes best about his job Al he said he gets to meet many different people and help people who are less fortunate than him. Also the fact that he feels touched by God in the workplace. Al is a US Air Force veteran, participates in the Veterans of Foreign Wars Lodge, and is a Mason. On Al's bucket list is to help as many people as he can and improve his life one day at a time.

Lee Covington has played the keyboard for 15 years at Centenary UMC both in our early service before Covid and now in our 10:30 service. When asked what he likes best about his job Lee said he is just happy to contribute to our church in a positive way and he appreciated all of the kind words and support from our church members. Lee has always worn many different hats. For many years he worked as a short order cook at Stuart Circle Pharmacy and before that he worked in a fish factory. On his bucket list is visiting Yellowstone and the Football Hall of Fame.

Tim Gerde has been our Minister to Senior Adults for 4 years. When asked what he likes best about his job Tim said being a part of the ministry of Centenary UMC, seeking out the least, the lost, and the lonely. He feels his job is enriching and an expressive commitment to the ministry of our Lord. Centenary is where God has allowed him to live out his calling in pastoral ministry. Tim says his first calling was to be a professional hockey goaltender but sadly that did not happen although he still enjoys hockey as a spectator.
