Painting Day @ Boulevard UMC
Saturday, November 6, 9 am - 1 pm
(Coffee and bagels at 8:30 am)
“Let’s start rebuilding!” they said, and they eagerly began the work. (Nehemiah 2:18b)
At Boulevard UMC, we have purchased a new building at 910 S Harrison St for ministry in the city of Richmond. We humbly ask for your help to make it a home. Kindred in Christ, will you join us in the effort? Could you bring a team from your church? Together, we can get so much done in just a few hours on an autumn Saturday. We need wall painters, water providers, spiritual supporters...and hot dog grillers to prepare lunch on the lawn! For any questions--and to RSVP with the number of people you plan to bring--please send an email to me at drewwillson@vaumc.org by Sunday, October 31.

Tellers Needed!
Can you spare an hour or two on Monday morning to count money, six to eight times in 2022? Would you like to meet, or get to know better, some new Centenary members? Would you like to perform a valuable service to our church?
No special skills or experience are required – you will be paired with an experienced teller to show you the ropes, and you will have the satisfaction of knowing you did an essential and appreciated job. Former tellers welcome! Contact the church office for more information.
We need YOU !

New Wifi Access
We are pleased to announce that the ENTIRE building is now equipped with strong and secure wifi access. You may notice our new wireless access points (pictured here) around the building. This allows you to go anywhere in the building, and stay connected! Our old networks are no longer available, so if your device auto-joined one of our old networks, you will need to join our new one

Thank You Centenary
At a recent Church Council meeting, action was taken on a proposal from the Serving team to contribute to several mission organizations that are dear to our hearts here at Centenary. Because of your generosity and that of donors beyond our congregation, we were able to contribute $3,333 to Feed More and $3,333 to Shalom Farms. Click the button to see responses from these organizations. And thank you for all the ways you make it possible for Centenary to be in mission in our community and beyond.

Parking Update
The pandemic has brought many changes, and one of those is how we park in the back parking lot. There is no longer an attendant there all day. Instead, an attendant comes through at different times to be sure people have paid for the parking space. The attendant knows the spaces are reserved for Centenary people, but we need to help them out by making it clear and easy for them to know that you are with Centenary. If you will be at the church for any reason during the week, we have parking passes that are available in the office. The pass MUST be placed on your dashboard and easy to see. The passes are not dated, so you can keep and reuse the pass as needed. If you know you will be at the church and would like to print one out at home, please contact the church office.

Charge Conference Date
Our charge conference this year will be held on Tuesday, October 26, at 7:00 p.m. at Westhampton United Methodist Church. This year, we will participate in a cluster charge conference with 9 other churches. The meeting will begin with a devotional and proceed to five-minute reports from each church about their accomplishments in the last year and their goals for ministry for 2022. Following that portion of the gathering, each church will convene and vote on important matters such as the pastor's salary and election of leaders for 2022. Though members of the charge conference are the only persons eligible to vote, all church members are welcome to attend.
