Dinner Day

Our tradition for 90 years!

Duties of Hosts/Hostess

The first Sunday of each month is observed as Dinner Day at Centennial United Methodist Church of Ivy. Each family that plans to stay for dinner is responsible for two covered dishes. With the earlier church hour during the summer months, the meal will have a brunch theme. All other weeks will have a fellowship time following church of coffee, Kool-Aid, and cookies or other treats. Everyone is welcome to stay for these times of fellowship.
