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!

Our sympathy goes to Karen Daly Junker and family upon the death of her father, Herman Daly,

and the family and friends of John Seyfarth,

both of whom died on October 28.

Herman Daly's funeral will be held at Centenary on Saturday, November 12 at 11:00 am

Arrangements for John Seyfarth are still pending.

Sunday, November 20

We will celebrate our staff!

We will be having a reception for our staff on Sunday, November 20 after the service. Don’t forget to show your appreciation for our staff by contributing to our Staff Appreciation fund and by writing notes and placing them in the basket at the back of the sanctuary. 

This week we are highlighting three of our staff members at Centenary UMC.

Melissa Martinez is our nursery coordinator and taught the children’s Sunday School class pre-Covid. When asked what she likes best about her job at Centenary she said doing the Lord’s work with his guidance and feeling like she is doing her small part as a Christian. Melissa also dances professionally with the Latin Ballet of Virginia along with her daughter. One thing on her bucket list is to open her own business working with kids.

Laura Nealley is our office administrator, that is she keeps everything running at Centenary. When asked what she likes best about her job at Centenary she said the wonderful, caring people and the sense of community we have and that there are always different projects and challenges. One thing you may not know is that Laura knows sign language. Next summer Laura plans to visit the areas in the UK where her grandparents are from. She is looking forward to sharing that trip with her children.

Heidi Kara is our part time custodian. When asked what she liked best about her job at Centenary she said the people she works with especially Al Richardson. Heidi is an avid reader and she also knits, crochets, and sews. On her bucket list is to chase a tornado, swim with the sharks, and visit relatives in Oslo, Norway.

This week's episode: Unlawful

Simon and Matthew search for Mary Magdalene who seems to have been affected by the demoniac, and through it all, she learns more of Jesus’s forgiving nature, and Jesus reminds local synagogue leaders of the hypocrisy within their Sabbath laws and the scripture about God desiring mercy not sacrifice.
