“Becoming a Disciple” Is the Theme of the Adult Class Study: In the Dust of the Rabbi: Becoming a Disciple is the theme of the Adult Class study through November 12. This five-session DVD series, featuring master teacher and historian Ray Vander Laan, explores what it means to be a follower of Jesus, not only in the first century, but now in the 21st Century. The series is beautifully filmed on location in Galilee and Asia Minor, a region where the rabbinic practice of selecting disciples (talmidim) was well known, and where disciples walked the walk Rabbi Jesus taught them. If you’ve never been to the Holy Land, the Vander Laan videos, part of the Faith Lessons of the Bible series, are the next best thing to being there. Join us for this exciting study from 9:00 A.M. to 10:00 A.M. Sundays in the Sunshine Room.

Dear Centenary Church Family:

We will gather in our Sanctuary for Worship at 10:15 AM this Sunday, October 8th. I will bring a message to the children, after which those in Pre-K through 8th grade will be dismissed for Sunday School classes. My morning Message, Partners in Ministry and Mission, will be based on the readings from 2 Corinthians 8:1-15 and Mark 10:17-31. The Chancel Choir will sing Thomas A. Dorsey’s moving Precious Lord, Take My Hand, as arranged for choir by Jack Schrader. Our Celebration of Found Coins is designated for the 2006 CROP Walk for World Hunger on October 15th. (Please see the item below.) Our Adult Class will meet at 9:00 AM in the Sunshine Room, as we conclude our study of India & Pakistan.
