CENTENARY NEWS

Soles to the Polls 2026


Centenary has once again joined the Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy (VICPP) in committing that 100% of Centenary members who are eligible will vote this year. The 2026 ballot is full of important Congressional races, three amendments to the Virginia constitution, and some local races and referenda. Our bulletin board on the first floor contains detailed information about the ballots, early voting, mail-in voting, and registration deadlines. Our “We’re Voting” sign is proudly displayed.


After our service on Sunday, October 18 , our Richmond voters can walk together to City Hall to vote. This Soles to the Polls walk is about a half mile each way. If a ride is needed let Jane Newell know.

Monday, September 28 at 6:00pm

St. Paul’s Front Steps (815 E. Grace Street)


During this time of turmoil and trial, we hold a vigil of prayer for the most vulnerable and powerless among us, lifting up our lament, fear, and hope to God’s redemptive and healing power. United as One Body, we make known the love and justice of Jesus of Nazareth for the poor, the oppressed, the sick, and the stranger. This service is offered every last Monday of the month and is hosted by St. Paul’s in collaboration with the Downtown Community Ministry. Free parking available in St. Paul’s garage at 111 N. 8th Street. 

Wednesdays at 10:00am

on Zoom


Join Pastor Emily for a lively, open conversation around scripture — digging into the passages we'll hear in worship in the weeks ahead. Come wrestle, question, and discover together as we explore what God is doing in the world (and in us!). Want the Zoom link? Email Laura at admin@centumc.org to be added to the list.

Friday Walk In Lunch Outreach


Our Friday Walk In lunch program has been feeding the hungry for over 45 years. On September 18 we served 120 guests as volunteers from Providence UMC and Centenary prepared, served, and cleaned up. 



 Please keep this ministry in your prayers.
