School Supply Drive

Through Sunday, August 11

Our Family Ministries team is collecting school supplies to donate for The Methodist Home as part of our Back to School Celebration! Donated items can be dropped off in the marked bin in the atrium.


Items needed are: Wide-ruled notebook paper, composition notebooks, highlighters, crayons, markers, #2 pencils, pens (black or blue), and erasers.

Conversations on Christian Nationalism

Christian Nationalism - What is it? A new name for ancient beliefs? What’s the history? What are the goals? Is it Christian? What would our Founding Fathers say?

Let’s learn about it together at Centenary Church, located on the corner of College and Ash Streets across from Tattnall Square Park. Join participants from several different churches in the Centenary Round Room (located in the main church building) on either Thursday, August 1 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. or Thursday, August 8 from 10-12.

As you make your plans, help Centenary plan by calling 478-742-8926 or by emailing to office@centenarymacon.org. Questions? Contact Payton Stone at pstone@mulberrymethodist.org

New Book Study: 5 Marks of a Methodist

Begins August 21 | Wednesdays | 5:30 - 7 pm

Led by Flo Martin, this 6-week study will meet on Wednesday Nights from 5:30 - 7 pm to discuss Five Marks of a Methodist: The Fruit of a Living Faith by Steve Harper. This study, which reflects on the practices that confirm our identity as followers of Christ, is great for those looking to deepen their understanding of what it

means to be a Methodist.

Congratulations to Tommy & Sarah Neaves on the birth of their sons Oliver & Owen, born Monday, July 29! Let's help celebrate the new family by bringing them a meal - you can sign up at the link below. Meals can be dropped off at their house. Contact Payton with any questions.
