What's Happening This Week - May 17

UMW Spring Salad Luncheon-All women are invited to the spring luncheon of the United Methodist Women on May 20 at 12:30 PM in the Fellowship Hall. Just bring a salad of your choice to share. Those who do not belong to a circle are urged to come and get information on the three circles now at Centenary. Dishes no longer needed in the kitchen will be offered to UMW ladies for a small donation. We will also be preparing birthing kits for our pastors to take to Annual Conference. Come and join us for fun, food and fellowship. Questions may be directed to Dee Smith at 634-3192.

Missing!! Flowers from the Narthex vase (organ side). If you have any information about where the flowers are, please call the church office (637-4181). We need them!!

The United Methodist Women need your help for bereavement teams. You will be a part of a reception team to assist and serve church families in their time of loss. Please pray for the UMW in their search for team members and consider being a team member yourself. If interested, call Dee Smith at 634-3192.

Troop Support-We have many troops serving in harm’s way. Two 2nd Marine Air Wing Chaplains from Cherry Point, an Air Force female navigator serving as Air Support Coordinator with the 1st Cavalry Division, an Army Command Sergeant Major of the 3rd Infantry Division, a sailor with a Marine unit afloat off Okinawa, and 12 local NC National Guard men and women serving on an important mission in Egypt. Through your support we have sent 795 packages. Thanks for the great support our church has given to our brave troops. We have word that more of our NC National Guard Troops will be deploying soon. Your prayers are the greatest gift they can receive.

The church library will remain closed until accessible, during construction of the new bathrooms. UMW books will remain available to you in Room 202 until September. Please file the check-out card in the black file box by Title and on return, replace the card and place the book back on the shelf. Movies and DVD’s , etc. are also in Room 202. Place cards by month borrowed in the wooden charger box. (Be sure to put the complete date borrowed. When returning, please replace the card. All other books are in storage.
