A 35 acre Christian retreat in Century that could eventually include a worship and prayer center will be dedicated Sunday afternoon.

Paul Davidson of Cantonment has purchased 35 acres at the end of McCall Road for the retreat they plan to call Moorer Place in memory of Paul’s late grandfather.

The public is invited to attend the dedication services for the Moorer Place will be held from 3:00 until 5:00 Sunday afternoon.  Guest speaker will be Ken Malone from Forerunner Ministries.

“God put this on our hearts at the first of the year,” Paul Davidson said. “He has really put Century on our hearts through prayer.”

The property will be named Moorer Place in honor of Davidson’s grandfather, the late Paul Nelson Moorer of Forest Home, Alabama. Davidson purchased the property with inheritance money from Moorer. It was purchased from current owner Carolyn Thompson, but it is actually the home place that once belong to Century Mayor Freddie McCall’s grandfather. “It’s a generation to generation thing,” Davidson said.

The property currently has only a small house and a barn. Those will be ready after the first of the year as a “place where people can come and relax and enjoy Christian fellowship,” he said. The center is not planned as a church, but as an a place to “strengthen other churches”.

“We will see what God has in store for it,” Davidson said, adding that there is no set timetable for the construction of the worship and prayer center.
