September 22 Luncheon

THIS SUNDAY

Please join us in the Fellowship Hall

to celebrate the start of the

Centenary UMC Oral History Project.  

What is an oral history? An oral history is a recorded and transcribed account of personal experiences, stories, and reflections of individuals who share a common bond. It captures first-hand testimony, providing a unique personal perspective on history that might not be found in traditional written records. These narratives are invaluable for preserving the voices of those who may be overlooked by conventional historical documentation.
