In response to the deadly tornadoes and hail storm that tore through Tennessee on March 2, UMCOR is  there working to support our neighbors. UMCOR staff and the conference disaster response coordinator assess the damage and immediate needs. Emergency Response Teams are on the ground. UMCOR has awarded a solidarity grant to the Tennessee Conference in response to the tornadoes to support initial relief efforts. Join us in supporting our neighbors in Tennessee by making your check to First-Centenary UMC and designating your gift to the UMCOR Tornado Relief.  Please join us in prayer for the families, communities, United Methodist churches and general agencies impacted by this disaster.

Taking seriously Christ's Great Commission recorded in Matthew 28, First-Centenary is intentionally engaged in missions locally, nationally, and internationally. This is our part in Christ's command to spread the gospel to the "four corners of the Earth."
