Growing Together, Rooted in hope
In our annual stewardship series, we will be casting a vision for all that we can do and all that we can accomplish when we come together as one faith community. Responding to the challenges that face our faith community with enthusiasm, wonder, and commitment to growing in love of God and neighbor, let us envision the future at Centennial UMC together.

Financial Giving
I will offer my gifts by pledging to give weekly/monthly/yearly with gratitude to support our shared ministry.
Various ways to give Monetary gifts
Online Giving - Subsplash
This is giving through our online portal that is connected to the website. You can designate how much you would like to give and to which fund. This is also a place you can set up recurring giving. [CLICK HERE]
Paper Checks/Cash
Paper checks or cash can be mailed to the church or dropped in the offering plate on Sunday mornings. Please make checks out to Centennial UMC.
Bank Bill Pay - ACS
A bank bill pay service is a feature within a bank's online or mobile banking platform that allows you to schedule and send payments to Centennial from your checking account, saving time by eliminating the manual payments. You can set up one-time or recurring payments to Centennial using your bank's online bill pay service which is typically free for all account holders when you use the standard delivery option.

You can consult with your tax/financial advisors to explore potential tax advantages of donating appreciated stock, contributing IRA Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs), or establishing a Donor-Advised fund; contact Greg Wagner for more information on donating stock through Centennial’s UBS Brokerage.

Growing Together, Rooted in Hope
Sent on Friday, October 3rd, 2025
Hello Centennial Family,
This Sunday, October 5, we begin our Stewardship Campaign - "Growing Together, Rooted in Hope" a season of reflection and prayer as we consider how God is calling us to give of our time, talents, and financial gifts in the year ahead. I invite you to visit our stewardship page, [link here]. In addition, printed materials and resources are available at both campuses (at the Connection Point and in the Linden Lounge at the Roseville campus, and on the round table at the St. Anthony Park campus).
Centennial's Leadership Board has identified three priorities that will guide us in 2025-26:
1. Engagement Beyond Worship - helping folks take the next step into small groups, service opportunities, and volunteering.
2. Children & Youth Ministry - strengthening how we nurture and empower our young people.
3. Our Future Together - clarifying who we are as one church and how we move faithfully forward.
On Sunday October 26th, we'll invite everyone to submit their financial pledge for the coming year and consider personal "next steps" in each of the three focus areas.
Save the Date - November 5
As part of Our Future Together, in partnership with the Minnesota Council of Churches, we'll host the first of two internal Centennial conversations. The first will be a Respectful Conversation about consolidating to one location: How did we get here? It will help us look back, name tensions, and build a shared foundation for moving forward. More details and a registration link will follow soon.
We have much to celebrate! Even in challenging seasons - navigating building issues, and insurance setbacks - Centennial has continued to thrive in ministry. Throughout this Stewardship Campaign, we'll highlight the many ways that we have embodied our call to be Authentic, Thinking, Actives disciples of Christ.
As we step into this Stewardship season, we give thanks for what God has already done and look with hope to what God is making possible through us together.
