Support Your Bicentennial
The Bicentennial committee is encouraging you to support Centenary’s 200th Anniversary by your attendance and your giving.
Both meals and the entertainment costs for the 2-day event have been approved by the Finance Committee and will be funded through past donations to special revenues. However, your support by making new donations is still appreciated.
All donations will help reduce the cost for your church. Please make any donations to Centenary UMC with ‘Bicentennial’ listed on the memo line.
Mark October 16 & 17 on your calendars now.
