————————————————————
Announcements
Please be sure you are checking our webpage (https://centreumc.org) regularly for updates to the church calendar. All sermons (https://centreumc.org/category/sermons/) and sermon videos (https://centreumc.org/worship-at-centre/sermons-videos/) are also available on the updated site.
All members of Centre’s church council, SPRC/LLDC, Board of Trustees, and finance committee are reminded that the leadership retreat is this Saturday, January 17, from 9:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. Lunch will be provided. We will meet in the Community Building Room D. Please contact Pastor Mark if you will be unable to attend.
Youth Group is this Sunday from 5:00-6:30 at the church.
We are hoping to update the church directory soon. Look for note cards and a box in the gathering space after church to submit your information or updates.
January 18-25 is the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. Please spend time during this week praying for the unity of the body of Christ. More information can be found here (http://www.oikoumene.org/en/resources/week-of-prayer/) .
Next week, January 25, is a special service of Covenant Renewal. The Covenant Renewal service is a Methodist tradition that goes back to John Wesley. It is an opportunity to dedicate yourself to Jesus Christ for the upcoming year. During the service, you will be asked to commit yourself to following Christ without conditions or strings attached. This is not a commitment to make lightly, so you are invited to spend some time this week in prayer and devotion preparing for next Sunday’s service. Please make every effort to be present for this service and to join with your brothers and sisters at Centre as we renew our discipleship calling.
This Sunday is The United Methodist Church’s Human Relations Day. All over the world The United Methodist Church sponsors programs and mission efforts that improve relationships within often-struggling communities. This Sunday we celebrate that work and collect funds to support it. All money given to the Pastor’s Discretionary Fund this Sunday will go toward this important ministry. In addition, you are encouraged to write a check with “Human Relations Day” in the “For” line to support the efforts of The United Methodist Church. See this first video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygMjqSFkEpU) for the story of one ministry that benefits from the support of Human Relations Day. This second video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrr1VNXY68Y) features our own Bishop Matthews sharing his thoughts about this Special Sunday.
