Missions Initiatives
Storm Recovery
The impact of Hurricane Helene is great. While our Disaster Recovery
team is still assessing the long-term needs, here's how you can help
immediately:
Donate online to disaster recovery efforts throughout our Conference at
http://www.flumc.org/disaster-support-fund.
Our brothers and sisters in Steinhatchee have experienced suffering due to Hurricane Helene. This Monday, November 4, we will take a team to help serve in that community. We will meet in Centenary’s Parking Lot at 7:30am and we should return no later than 5:30 that afternoon. If you would like to serve, please let Pastor Danielle know by Friday, November 1. Thank you for considering the needs of our neighbors and for helping us “care” for them during this time.
Volunteer: As we learn more from the Disaster Response Coordinator in our District, Pastor Danielle will communicate volunteer opportunities. Please consider how this might be an opportunity for you to serve all in our community.
Pastor’s Discretionary Fund
On the First Sunday of every month, as we receive communion, we offer gifts to our Pastor’s Discretionary Fund. This Fund is used to help individuals in need with their bills or groceries. To donate to this fund, you can simply place your gift on the railing when you come forward for communion. We thank you for considering a donation to this fund!
Shoebox Ministry
We will be collecting items over the next few months to pack 100 Shoe Boxes that go to children in need all over the world. These boxes share the love of Jesus with the children at Christmas. In October, we will be collecting balls, deflated soccer balls (with air pump), cars, trucks, toothbrushes, hair combs/brushes, bar soap, wash cloths. $$$ is always welcomed! There is a box for you to drop them off in the Sanctuary and the Office. We thank you for your support of this missional ministry.
Communion Special Offering
Every first Sunday of the Month we celebrate communion together as a
church family. During communion, you are welcome to
bring an offering forward with you to the communion rail. This extra-mile
gift goes to the Pastor’s Discretionary Fund, which allows for us to help
individuals with personal financial needs and expenses. We thank you for
considering this special offering and supporting this ministry.
Greensboro Thrift Store
The Gadsden Methodist Thrift Store offers clothing to the Greensboro Community at affordable pricing. The resources generated from the store are given to various non-profits throughout the county and the conference. We are grateful for this partnership and for the opportunity to serve. Every 1st and 5th Saturday, Centenary works at the Thrift Store from 1:00pm- 4:00pm. If you are interested in helping with this ministry, please contact Kay Roach in the church office.
Weekend Meal Packs
We are in full swing for the 2024-2025 School Year and are providing Weekend Meal Packs for the George W. Munroe Students each Friday. Our packing dates in December are Friday, December 6 at 10:00am and Thursday, December 19 at 1:00pm. We hope you will join us as we drive out hunger together in our community.
