Centenary To Host Fellowship Day Event

Church Women United will celebrate May Fellowship Day on Friday at Centenary United Methodist Church, 1012 S. Freya.

The program, titled “Growing Seeds in Prepared Soil,” will feature Spokane City Councilwoman Cherie Rodgers. Rodgers was raised on the Flathead Indian Reservation in Western Montana and is a member of the Blackfeet Tribe.

The program will include an ecumenical service and lunch. The service is based on the theme of seeds that God has provided for physical and spiritual nourishment from ancient times to today.

May Fellowship Day is an annual event uniting Christian women of all denominations in a common worship experience to help build relationships that cross denominational lines.

The program will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The cost of the luncheon is $6 per person.
