The Thanksgiving Project
YOU
touched so many lives this Thanksgiving with your love and your care.
Thanks Centenary Family.
[AND]
You
didn’t do it alone.
In all,
sixteen churches, five banks and credit unions, several stores and businesses, eleven civic
and fraternal organizations and a multitude of individuals
participated in a wonderful community-wide mission outreach.
In all,
several hundred family units were reached and countless individuals
were able to have a delicious Thanksgiving meal because of the
generosity and mission spirit of so many.
When Jesus said, “Love
your neighbor as yourself,” YOU obviously listened.

organizes flood buckets and school kits.
Our
Threads of Love make quilts for those who are in hospital or grief,
pillows and blankets for the women’s shelter and pregnancy center.
Our
BC3

clothing for their children.
Our
Something Good committee and parishioners help get funding and help
to those in need.
Centenary

We
participate in the Sunday Suppers where our downtown churches and the
Mormon for
their support. Because we do not sell a traditional calendar as we
once did, we would be grateful for any contribution you might
consider giving toward this project. Contributions can be directed
to Linda Wilcox or Mary Dunham. Because some of us do not have
printers the Birthday/Anniversary Calendar is being printed and will
be available at the table when you enter for church. In this way you
can have a copy to put on your refrigerator.
