Centenary Goes Green!

A major emphasis at Centenary centers upon our concern for the world and its future. 

Through on-going in church education, periodic public presentations involving noted authorities on subjects of environmental concern, and attention to the teaching of scripture Centenary is working to make a difference.

Watch this page for information concerning the church's activities and suggestions as to how you can get involved.

GET INVOLVED The month of April, our Green team offers many Green activities.  It is like we are celebrating Earth Day all month.     We are collecting        Household batteries, both rechargeable and non-rechargeable, such as        D-cell, C-cell, AA, AAA, 9-volt, and button cells        Rechargeable battery packs from:        Cell phones, cameras, laptop computers, power tools, etc.        Handheld electronics:        Cell phones, iPods, PDAs, pagers, and so on        Any other dry-cell batteries   We are working with Battery Solutions to reduce landfill costs, and reclaim the minerals for use, not distruction.   We are collecting CFL's.  Given the laziness of the human condition, we are hoping this is an easy drop-off site, almost as easy as placing them ILLEGALLY in with the garbage.   We are collecting aluminum cans.  Redemption will help off-set the cost of battery reclamation.   We are directing our friends to bring their out-dated, un-used prescriptions and medications to the Justice Center on April 22 and 29 during the hours of noon to 6.   We are asking our friends to be more careful with sharps.  We are reviewing our policy in our building regarding sharps.   We are inviting everyone to the Swap Meet April 10.  Bring something that needs a new owner.   We also are hosting a rumage sale.  Materials are accepted 8-4 Thursday April 15.  The sale will be Friday, April 16, 9am to 6pm, with a bag sale Saturday .   Call for information to join either the movie study "No Impact Man" or the book study "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle" by Barbara Kingsolver.
