Dear Centenary Church Family:

Because of a significant commitment beginning early tomorrow morning, I am sending my weekly Centenary E-pistle a bit earlier than usual.

Just a reminder that there will be September 11 Remembrance Services held tomorrow at 8:30 AM at Freedom Plaza in Metuchen, and at 6:30 PM at Papaianni Park in Edison.
