Group Makes Plans To ‘Reimagine Century’ In September
April 2, 2014
An organizational meeting was held Tuesday night for Reimagine Century — a September 13, 2014, event that will be held at Showalter Park in Century.
Organizer Linda English said the group is on a mission to serve those less fortunate — both their physical and spiritual needs.
Churches, she said, are often different — some black, some white, some contemporary, some traditional — but it’s those churches that will come together to serve during Reimagine Century.
“For just one day, we will put all of that aside and just serve those in our own backyard,” she said.
The event will include a wide variety of activities, including a 7,000 pound food giveaway, health screenings, AIDS testing, live music, fishing lessons from Mission Fishin’, Manicures, a laundry detergent giveaway, youth and teen activities, haircuts, entertainment, lunch and much more — all free for the community.
About 40 people, representing a variety of churches, businesses and community groups, attended Tuesday night’s organizational meeting. Interested persons are invited to attend the group’s next meeting on Tuesday, May 6 at 7 p.m. at the Century Ag Building on West Highway 4.
“The businesses, churches, organizations, and ministries in the Century community are ready to serve the impoverished and each other,” English said.

Many thanks to you William for attending last night’s Volunteer Meeting. As far as first time meetings, Century had the most in attendance. Wow! So excited about this event. Again, thank you so much!
