JUNETEENTH CELEBRATION Click here for more information

Each year men of Central, through the United Methodist Men's organization, (CUMC UMM) sponsor access to the final game of the Cardinals vs Braves series in Atlanta.

This year the event is on Sunday, July 21st and the starting time is 1:35pm.

We invite the CUMC Community to join us in a celebration of Central’s own Jordan Walker and his baseball career, when the St. Louis Cardinals come to Atlanta to take on the hometown Braves. Seats priced at $60 each, have been secured for family and friends of Jordan Walker to enjoy the game together. Tickets in this seating section must be finalized by June 15^th.

All payments of $60 per ticket should be sent to Greg Davis, CUMC UMM Treasurer:

CashApp: $UMMCentral

or

Central United Methodist Men

C/O Gregory Davis

150 Greyfield Drive

Tyrone, Georgia 30290

Do Not send any payments to the Church Office.

In April 2024, the Cardinals sent Jordan to the Cardinals’ AAA Memphis Redbird team and he is currently not on the St. Louis Cardinals Major League roster. We expect him to be back on the Cardinals Major League team by July, but we cannot guarantee that Jordan will be on the roster for this game.

However, Central will celebrate and encourage Jordan no matter what!!!"

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF MEMORY SUNDAY?

The purpose of Memory Sunday is to bring national and local attention to the tremendous effects of Alzheimer’s and other dementias in the African American community. The Balm In Gilead’s Brain Health Center for African Americans (BHCAA) incorporates the influence of African American churches to deliver educational information about ways to reduce the risk of developing dementia and provide support to people living with Alzheimer’s and their caregivers. 

MEMORY SUNDAY OBJECTIVES

Raise awareness of issues affecting cognitive health among African Americans via the development of African American congregations to become an integral partner in:

1. Educating African Americans about Alzheimer’s & dementia.
2. Educating the community on behaviors that support risk reduction and healthy aging.
3. Increasing awareness about the need for early diagnosis.
4. How to effectively provide support for caregivers.

For more information on Memory Sunday, please visit https://www.balmingilead.org/memory-sunday/.

Caregivers, we have been offered limited free tickets to the seminar below. For free tickets call Senior 911 at 470-330-3599
