Annual Conference

      This year’s Annual Conference for Arkansas United Methodists will be in Fort Smith on June 10-13.  In addition to the pastors, Central has six lay delegates who will be attending:  Carole Baker, Sara Mansker, Vicki Mansker, Chris Obenshain, George Rhoads, and Denise Tremaine.  We also have Cathy Blackwood & Kimberly Workman who will be going as District delegates.  Please be in prayer for all of the delegates as they attend this gathering, seeking God’s will for us as an Annual Conference.

Sunday School Singing

       The Chancel Choir will be taking its annual break during the month of July.  That means NO rehearsals and NO Sunday music.  All Sunday School classes are invited once again to “person” the Choir Loft for the 8:30 or 11:00 services in July.  What a great time for fun and fellowship.  If your class would like to sing a hymn for the “Music Offering” you may but it’s not a “must.”  Class members/teachers please contact Les Oliver at les@cumcrogers.com or 685-1155 to pick a July Sunday and service time for your class.

Volunteers Needed

East and West Church Gardens

       Did you know that the church has two beautiful garden areas on either side of the Chapel?  The Serenity Garden is on the west side of the Chapel and has the beautiful fountain, statue of Jesus, and the Columbarium.  It’s serene and quiet with just a hint of water falling.  The plants and shrubs are in full bloom. A very peaceful setting for a time of reflection.

The Courtyard Garden is on the east side of the Chapel, and has a trellis, benches, and patio tables and chairs for seating.  The flower beds run on either side of the seating area.  This courtyard was intended for small weddings, celebrations, and gatherings.  While the Serenity Garden has a few members that have taken it upon themselves to keep the flowers and shrubs neat and trim, it has not been so with the Courtyard.  The beds in this garden are looking and little shabby (and not shabby sheik) and could use a little tender loving care. 

We are looking for a few people and/or a group that would be willing to adopt the Courtyard Garden and make it as beautiful as the Serenity Garden.  If you, your Sunday School Class, or Bible Study Group, would be willing to help with this beautiful area of the church, please contact Karen Brown in the church office at 636-1630.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

Volunteers are needed to help with the church grounds (mowing, weed eating, etc.) and various inside projects.  If you would like to help, please contact Brian Tomlin 899-7242 or via email at brian@cumcrogers.com.
