Bear Town Youth Reminders

Bear Town Youth Meeting Location Change


Our Bear Town Youth meeting scheduled for this Sunday, May 3, will be held in the Life Center at Trinity United Methodist Church. We will not meet at Centenary this week. Their address is 2311 Elizabeth Ave. Please plan on entering the parking lot on the Elizabeth Ave. side rather than the Simmons St. side of Trinity.


We will share dinner together and have a low-key night of fun and games as our youth come down the stretch of the 2025-26 school year!

2026 Summer Breakaway


WHO: Breakaway is an event for all middle and high school youth (grades 6-12).


WHAT: Breakway is a weeklong summer event for middle and high school youth. The theme will be “You've Got a Friend," and the primary scripture for the week will be drawn from Matthew 22, focusing on loving God and loving neighbor. Breakaway includes growth groups, worship, small groups, siesta, missions, a talent show, a dance, a movie, and elections for youth leadership. There will be no legislative affairs at Breakaway this year.


WHEN: Monday, June 22, through Saturday, June 27.


WHERE: Breakway is being held at Louisburg College in Louisburg, North Carolina.


COST: The cost per child to attend this event is $400.00 and is set by the North Carolina Conference. Centenary is prepared to cover the cost of $200.00 per youth, which means the cost to each family will be $200.00. However, as we always say, cost should not be a barrier to your child's attendance.

Senior Sunday


We hope your family will make plans to worship with us on Sunday, May 3, as we recognize Centenary's graduating seniors!


Our graduating high school seniors will be recognized in worship and given an opportunity to share a bit about their faith journey, their experience at Centenary, and what's next for them at both our 9:00 and 11:00 AM worship services.
