MissionTrips

Centenary takes part in regular mission trips, bringing help and hope to communities across the US and overseas. Some of these trips are regularly scheduled; others are planned in response to natural disasters and crises as they occur.

Each year, the CUMC junior and senior high youth groups participate in a mission trip, combining hands-on help, faith exploration and fun.

The 2006 Youth Mission Trip took CUMC young people to Nashville, where they worked with a community group providing Bible study and fun for city children, meeting and talking with the city's homeless and conducting a prayer vigil for the city and its people.

 In recent years, trips have also included:

• Clean-up in Mississippi following Hurricane Katrina
• Tornado cleanup in Carruthersville, Missouri
• Hurricane Ivan recovery work in Florida
• Henderson Settlement in Kentucky
• Nicaragua with Rainbow Network.
