Worship service was truly a blessing today. Rev. Cook preached on the subject The Value of a Loving Father. The Angels of Praise and M.I.M.E.s performed in honor of the fathers of Central United Methodist Church. Three new members completed new members class and were awarded their certificate of membership.

Happy Father's Day

In honor of all fathers, Central United Methodist Church hosted a Father's Day Cookout which was free and open to the public. A very special thank you to AJ's Security Bars and Doors for being our grillmaster, A Greener Farish for the prizes, Attorney Melvin Priester for being our celebrity judge and the Farish Street community for supporting our efforts.

Clap my hands,

I'm an instrument
so let God play me!
