Community Garden
Envisioned to create a space of peace and play, and to encourage friendship and sharing
within our neighborhood. Many hours of work have been spent in the planning and
implementation of opening our outdoor space to those who desire to sit in
peace, watch their kids on the playground equipment or simply to be with God.

Safe Haven Baby Box
Erwin's Safe Haven Baby Box was installed in June 2024 at the EMS Station on Oneega Avenue.
Appreciation to Centenary's United Women in Faith unit, Pastor Linda Rozar, and Mike and Lois Davis for their financial support and efforts to bring this Baby Box to Erwin.
The Baby Box was installed in memory of Mike and Lois' parents
and equipped with donated and blessed baby care items made by local ladies.
Please contact Lois or Pastor Linda if you would like to be involved on the local level.
Financial support is always greatly appreciated.

Our Intent

The new playground equipment is getting great use by the church kids and neighborhood kids. Trees have been trimmed, new mulch laid and additional seating is provided for parents. Made possible by the generous contributions of Centenary members and the hard work of many volunteers.

Community Garden

Throughout 2024, many of our church members have been involved in the planning and implementation of the new Community Garden project, envisioned from set-up to harvest, to be a blessing to all in our community. Pastor Linda successfully drafted and submitted an application for multi-year grant funding to enable us to purchase projected supplies and equipment. Your continued prayers are an important component of the success of this project.

Our People Make it Happen

An active Vision Committee was responsible for the step by step planning of the garden - several committee members have stepped forward to lead the project with time and talent. Other church members have contributed ideas, financial resources and expertise to ensure the success of the project.
Many thanks to all participants!

If you would like to become actively involved in the Community Garden project, please contact Pastor Linda at cumcet@yahoo.com.
