As always be sure to check the online calendar for upcoming events. You can also read past sermons or watch videos from previous Sundays on our website.
 

Please remember the food pantry in your weekly grocery shopping trip. This week the pantry needs: spaghetti sauce, cereal, syrup, canned fruit, jelly, shampoo, toothpaste, and soap.

This Saturday, September 24, is our fall church work day. Work days allow us to contribute to the good stewardship of our grounds and buildings while building relationships with each other as we work together. Work days also save the church money by taking care of minor issues before they require expensive repairs.

Next Sunday is our Community Worship Service at William Watters UMC. Congregations from Forest Hill and Jarrettsville will meet at 10:00 for a combined worship service. A potluck will follow. Please bring a dish to share. An offering for the winter emergency rotating shelter will be collected. Please plan to make your regular offering to Centre for October 2 either this morning or on October 9.

This Sunday Grace Timonium Church will host Yves Dushime, a recipient of an Operation Christmas Child shoebox from Togo. Yves is an adult who will share how this Samaritan’s Purse ministry impacted his life. The event is free and begins at 7:00 p.m. Grace Timonium Church is located at 9505 Deereco Rd, Lutherville 21093. Phone number is 410-459-2118.

Charge Conference is this Saturday, September 17, at 2:00 p.m. at Emory UMC in Street. This is the annual meeting for the congregation, so please consider coming. We will also be meeting with other area congregations, so charge conference is also a chance to connect with other Christians in our area.

Next Saturday, September 24, is our fall church work day. Work days allow us to contribute to the good stewardship of our grounds and buildings while building relationships with each other as we work together. Work days also save the church money by taking care of minor issues before they require expensive repairs.

The next prayer meeting at the Grove at William Watters is next Wednesday, September 21, at 7:00 p.m.

As always be sure to check the online calendar for upcoming events. You can also read past sermons or watch videos from previous Sundays on our website.
 

Please remember the food pantry in your weekly grocery shopping trip.

This Sunday, September 11, is our fall Christian Education kickoff. During worship we will dedicate our Sunday School teachers and youth leaders. And in the evening, at 5:30, the youth group will begin its school-year activities. There will also be a meeting for youth parents at 5:30.

(Re)New at Centre is a new short-term Sunday School class led by Pastor Mark that begins this Sunday, September 11. The class is designed for people who are relatively new to Centre or who do not have a regular Sunday School class they already attend. (Re)New at Centre lasts 6 sessions: 9/11, 9/18, 9/25, 10/9, 10/16, and 10/23.

Charge Conference is next Saturday, September 17, at 2:00 p.m. at Emory UMC in Street. This is the annual meeting for the congregation, so please consider coming. We will also be meeting with other area congregations, so charge conference is also a chance to connect with other Christians in our area.

Please mark your calendars now for the work day on September 24. Work days allow us to contribute to the good stewardship of our grounds and buildings while building relationships with each other as we work together. Work days also save the church money by taking care of minor issues before they require expensive repairs.

CentreNews Rev. Mark Gorman, Pastor

Back to School

It’s funny how the fall signals a time to get back into routines of work and commitment. Even those of us who don’t live by the public school schedule still sense that September is a time to re-engage with normal life after the summer lull.

In the spirit of back-to-school transitions, I want to encourage you to examine your engagement with the life of discipleship at Centre. Here are some suggestions:

-Sign up to help teach Sunday School for our children or youth.

-Commit to making dinner for the youth group this school year.

-Join the short-term Wednesday morning adult Bible study on the life of King David.

-Sign up for (Re)New at Centre, the Sunday School class I’m teaching this month and next.

-Offer to help with the rotating emergency homeless shelter this winter; talk with Nancy Martin or Lynn Davis.

-Help out on the September 24 Workday as we take care of our buildings and grounds.

If none of these suggestions is possible for you, then pray for each of them; we need prayer as much as (maybe more than) anything else. If they’re not possible because of commitments you’ve already made, then it’s probably time for you to rethink those other commitments: do they bear the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23)? Do they witness to Christ crucified (1 Corinthians 1:23)? Do they contribute to how you love God with all your heart and love your neighbor as yourself?

Congregations are like schools of Christian discipleship. We learn to follow Jesus together so that each of us can grow in faith. One hour a week Sunday mornings is not enough. This fall, find a way to get involved with the fuller life of our congregation. When you do, you might discover how much you have to learn about following Jesus. And you might be surprised at how much your faith grows.

Yours in Christ,

Pastor Mark

In Brief…

*The October newsletter deadline is September 22.

*Youth group meets September 11, 18, and 25 at Centre from 5:30-7:30 p.m.

*Pastor Mark is teaching “(Re)New at Centre,” a 6-week Sunday School class that starts September 11.

*Wednesday morning Bible study begins September 14 at 10:00 a.m. This will be a 7-week study on the life of King David.

============================================================

Announcements

The youth group will kick off for the school year on Sunday, September 11, at Centre, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Dinner for youth will be provided. When you bring your youth, there also will be a mandatory parents’ meeting at 5:30 in the youth room that should last ½ hour.

Children’s Sunday School: A new Sunday school year is about to start, and I would once again like to invite our congregation to take part in teaching our children’s class. Maybe you haven’t thought of children’s Sunday school as “your area” of ministry before, but let me offer 5 reasons to consider it for the upcoming year:
1. You’ll be joining one of our larger ministry teams. We currently have 8 congregation members who actively help with children’s Sunday school. Come see where all the action is!
2. Whenever a child (or for that matter, anyone) is baptized in our church, the whole congregation promises to “surround these persons with a community of love and forgiveness, that they may grow in their trust of God.” Teaching Sunday school is one way to fulfill this baptismal promise for our youngest members.
3. The vision prayer group that has been meeting since the start of the school year has identified increasing the number of families with young children as a possible area of ministry focus as our church moves forward. If we want to welcome more families with children, we must maintain a vibrant place for these children to grow in their faith.
4. If you don’t feel prepared, we’ve got you covered! You can start by simply signing up as a helper (we require 2 adults be present in Sunday school each week). If you do sign up as a teacher, we provide a curriculum with weekly lessons, and supplies as needed. You can also start small by just signing up for a few Sundays to start.
5. It’s fun! Members who already teach Sunday school have talked about how they enjoy getting to know the children in the church, and our children love seeing adults that they know when they come to worship. Plus, you probably don’t get to do nearly as many crafts or games in adult Sunday school!

If you want to find out more about teaching or helping with Sunday school for this school year, talk to Libby Gorman, either in person or via e-mail at ** libby.gorman@gmail.com (mailto:libby.gorman@gmail.com)
. Here’s to a great Sunday school year!

On October 3 Centre will join other United Methodist congregations at the Grove at William Watters UMC on Jarrettsville Road for a Community Worship Service. You don’t want to miss this service! Worship starts at 10:00 a.m. and is followed by a potluck picnic. Mark your calendars now.

Our annual Charge Conference is Saturday, September 17 at 2:00 p.m. Emory UMC in Street will once again host. Anyone from Centre can attend, and you are encouraged to come, but if you are on Church Council you must be there! Please speak with Pastor Mark if you have any questions.

(Re)New at Centre: God, Us, and Me: Pastor Mark will lead a new short-term Sunday School class that begins on September 11. If you have started coming to Centre in the last 3-5 years, or if you returned to Centre recently after time away, this class is for you! We will meet in the Fellowship Hall on September 11, 18, 25, October 9, 16, and 23. Topics include the Bible, our beliefs, discipleship, faith, and our calling. If you are new to Centre or still trying to find your place in this community of faith, you don’t want to miss it!

Workday: There will be a workday on Saturday, September 24, from 9:00-noon. Our focus will be on the Community Building. Workdays are a great chance to get to know others at Centre, and they save the church money by fixing small issues before they need the attention of paid professionals. Please join us for some or all of the time on the 24^th.

Purse auction: The purse auction and sale that supports Harford Family House runs September 9-10 at the Bel Air Armory. On the 9^th, there is a preview event from 6:00-8:30 p.m. On the 10^th, the doors are open from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. For more information, please talk to Nancy Martin.

Rotating shelter: The church council hopes to host a rotating emergency winter shelter this year. Centre would provide space as well as volunteers for meals, driving, and other needs. Please prayerfully consider how you can help make hosting this shelter possible.
Centre’s Finances

If you have questions about financial stewardship at Centre or about Centre’s budget, please speak to John Griffin, Finance Chair, or to Pastor Mark.
