CUMC Youth in Action
Some of Central's youth will be participating in Galloway United Methodist Church's MissionFest June 7 - 9, 2010. I was asked if I had any pictures of the youth doing different activities this year. I decided to put together a video showing their activities.
Take a moment and encourage the children and youth of our church. There are plenty of other places that they could be and yet they have chosen to be active members of Central United Methodist Church. Please let them know just how much you appreciate them bearing the cross and keeping the flame going.
As Family Life Center Director, I have been fortunate enough to see the youth as they prepare to represent Central United Methodist Church at various functions throughout the city. I am very proud of them and hope that my pride comes through in this video.

Jackson Public Schools
Recently the Jackson Public Schools hosted a Moms Conference at Galloway Elementary School. The work of mothers could easily be summed up in the ditty that was performed at the beginning of the event.

Black History Celebration
Central United Methodist Church celebrated Black History month this year on Sunday, February 21 and Sunday, February 28.
Sunday, February 21
The Green Elementary Choir blessed our congregation with Negro Spirituals and traditional African-American hymns. The choir, who is known as the Mellow Tones, celebrated ten (10) years of sharing with the Central church family. Our own Marilyn Clark is the principal of Green Elementary School.
Sunday, February 28, 8:30 am
Lest We Forget: Black Poets and Composers was the theme of the early morning service. There were speakers from the congregation as well as guest poets who brought beautiful original poems and poems by famous African-Americans. The Morning Glory singers provided beautiful music from spirituals to contemporary composers.
Sunday, February 28, 11:00 am
The Heroes of the Community celebration began with the honoring of Mr. Luther B. Buckley and Rev. Henry C. Clay. The congregation was dressed in traditional African attire and shared a soul food dinner after service. The liturgical dance ministry presented its newest expansion, the MIME (Males in Musical Expression) ministry. The group of young men made an outstanding first impression on the congregation of Central.

Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday
On Monday, January 18, 2010, Central United Methodist Church and New Hope Missionary Baptist Church joined together in A Day On, Not A Day Off, a celebration of the birth of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The day was filled with activity. We began with a Prayer Breakfast with Rev. Cook giving the message. His topic was There's No Shortcut to the Promised Land. New Hope provided a delicious breakfast which prepared us for Phase II, the cleanup. Five separate groups set out about the Farish Street District picking up trash and passing out recycle bins. Members of the community had planned a march and rally at the State Capitol in protest to the possible merging of Mississippi's Historically Black Colleges and Universities. What a beautiful experience to see the multi-generational crowd marching for the same cause. I have put together a video of the photos that were taken from that day. Let us always remember the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King in our daily actions, not just on the holiday celebrating his birth.
