Dear Centenary Church Family:

We will gather in our Sanctuary at 10:15 AM this Sunday, November 12, for Worship and Sunday School (Pre-K through 12th Grade Youth). Assistant Pastor Terrilisa Durham Bauknight will bring a word with the children. We will celebrate the Sacrament of Christian Baptism for Harrison William Pearce and Andrew Thomas Pearce, twin sons of Todd and Julie Pearce, and brothers of big sister Alyson Grace Pearce, who were born on July 5, 2006. My morning Message, The Gift of Passion, will be based on the Gospel reading from Mark 12:38-44. We will also hear the Epistle reading from 2 Corinthians 9: 6-15. The Chancel Choir will sing Make Me a Channel of God’s Peace, a choral setting of the Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi, composed by Sebastian Temple and arranged for choir by Jane Holstein. Our Celebration of Found Coins will be designated for the Casa Paula Street Ministry for Children in Mar del Plata, Argentina.

“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.

Sunday, November 5th – All Saints’ Sunday / Sacrament of Holy Communion

Posted by admin on Nov 4, 2006 in Sunday Worship | 0 comments

Dear Centenary Church Family:

We will gather in the Sanctuary for our annual observance of All Saints’ Sunday at 10:15 AM on November 5th. I will offer a word to the children before they are dismissed for Sunday School classes (Pre-K through Senior High youth). My morning Message, The Grace to Forget, will be based on the readings from Revelation 21:1-6a and John 11:32-44. We will lift up for honor and remembrance the names of those members and friends of Centenary who have entered eternal life since All Saints’ Sunday last year. During the Offertory, the Chancel Choir will sing My Faith, It Is an Oaken Staff by T. Lynch, and arranged by Hans Vigeland, and will offer Blessed by the Bread, Graced by the Wine by Mary Kay Beall as we receive the Sacrament of Holy Communion. Our Celebration of Found Coins for November is designated for the Casa Paula Children’s Soup Ministry in Mar del Plata, Argentina.
