Hospitality Committee
The Hospitality Ministry at Centenary UMC seeks to reach out to members of the church as well as the community, spreading the word of God's goodness in a variety of ways. The foremost objective of the Ministry is, with the help our our Lord, to uplift the people of God and his church. This is accomplished in a number of different ways.
Semi-Annual Birthday Celebrations
