Plans and prep are underway for the 2026 Community Garden. Shannon has been
constructing raised beds and there's activity at the Temple Hill greenhouse.
Your participation is desired and needed.
All are welcome to join in.

Crochet Project
Pastor Linda is seeking volunteers to crochet dish cloths. If you can
crochet or would like to learn, please contact Pastor Linda.

CarePortal
Centenary's participation in CarePortal has already made a difference in the lives
of numerous Unicoi County families. Your help has ranged from financial
donations to providing needed items to agreeing to help a helper meet a need.

Please don't be shy about the technology part of this community resource - there's always
someone around who can walk you through the steps of registration or checking your email
or notify you if a need arises that you are able to fill.




Serve in Your Church

Use your unique gifts to help build the Kingdom.

With the initiation of the CUMC Community Garden, opportunities will be 
created for participation in planting and maintenance, clean up, and harvesting. 
Great fellowship time!

Your presence in the backyard is encouraged and will hopefully attract others to
the serenity of a space where they can find peace and prayerful time.

Care & Share is open Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays  and Saturdays to serve 
community members with their clothing and food needs. 
Volunteers and financial support appreciated.

Cookies are periodically delivered to the Children's Home in Greeneville, TN.
The next delivery date will be posted when scheduled.

The Traveling Library
operates periodically on Centenary grounds & at area schools.
Book preparation assistance  and food/donations are needed.
Book donations are always appreciated.

If you find you are not as physically active as you once were, there's always 
opportunity to communicate with church folks who are homebound or
in a nursing facility; live alone and don't get out much or may just
need contact with another person to receive comfort or to chat.
