Park and Ride!: It's that time of year again that the State Fair takes over our lives as we relive memories of family trips to the fair, or reminisce and delightfully smile about long-lasting experiences with friends at the fairgrounds.

This commitment brings with it the opportunity to raise money for the church group of your choice. We need a total of 6 volunteers per day, across three different time period that run from 8:00am to midnight (Sundays are from 1pm to midnight).

Service Opportunities

Centennial United Methodist Church Annual School Supply Drive: July 1st-July 31st. The Kids In Need Foundation is dedicated to ensuring students and teachers have the supplies and support they need to learn, grow, and thrive in the classroom. For many students something as small as  a missing pencil or an empty notebook can create an invisible barrier between them and their potential. But when those barriers are removed, something transformative happens-school supplies don’t just equip a student to learn; they ignite confidence, create a sense of belonging, and ensure every child has what they need to pursue their goals and dreams.

CUMC has been contributing to the KINF location in Roseville for several years. Cash donations are preferred...more “bang for the buck” with bulk purchasing. If you choose to contribute, please make a check payable to CUMC and put KINF in the memo section. The compassion team thanks you in advance for your contributions.

Every dollar you contribute goes directly to scholarships for BIPOC residents in the St. Paul Urban Teacher Residency Training Program. Your gift is 100% tax deductible and 100% invested in the next generation of educators who will shape our communities for decades to come. Thank you for believing in our mission - to educate, elevate, and build generational wealth from the ground up. Your presence and support mean everything to us. We hope to see you there. Registration information is HERE.
