Fifty years ago, the Centre and Pleasant Grove Methodist churches joined together to create a new church, Centre Grove. We are planning a special day that will include a slideshow presentation of photos from over the years, especially the early years. We will incorporate some hymns from the groundbreaking and consecration services.
It looks to be a special day in the life of the church. You are invited to help us celebrate what God has done and also look toward the future with hope and anticipation!
On Saturday, September 15, 2012, beginning at 9:00 a.m., Centre Grove will hold a yard and bake sale. Proceeds from the yard sale will go toward supporting a child through Compassion International, which the youth group sponsors.
Proceeds from the bake sale will support the United Methodist Home for Children.
Attend this yard and bake sale to support missions through Centre Grove!
