“Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.” (Proverbs 22:6 NIV)
I am so excited to be the Family Ministries Coordinator at Central United Methodist Church! I am a retired elementary school teacher and have lived in Georgia, Nebraska, and Missouri, as well as Michigan. I am really happy to be working with children again.
I was raised in Fremont, Michigan in the Western Lower Peninsula. Fremont United Methodist was my home church as I was growing up and I have wonderful memories of being loved and cared for by the members of that congregation. I grew away from the church a bit while in college, and as young adults my husband and I attended only sporadically until our oldest child was 1 ½ years old. It was then that we made the conscious decision to attend regularly so that she and our future children could be raised and nurtured within the family of Christ. We now have three adult children with families of their own.
We, at Central United Methodist Church, know how important it is for children to grow up surrounded and nurtured by a loving multi-generational church family. For pre-school and elementary age children we offer Young Christian Worship during the Sunday morning worship service (beginning on October 6, 2019). Sunday School for Junior and Senior High meets at 9:45 on Sunday mornings. On Wednesday evenings from 530-6:45, we get the whole family together for food, Christian fellowship, music and Bible study. Everyone is welcome to join us!

I am delighted to be back in Michigan after spending 38 years in the greater Chicagoland area, working in a variety of business settings before answering the call to ministry in 1997. Maybe you have just moved to the EUP or you’ve been away from church for a while. You will find a welcome at either of our congregations. Maybe you are looking for a church community for the first time in your life. Having personally grown up in the United Methodist Church and then taking an extended hiatus, I know how hard it can be to walk through those church doors for the first time. Please know you will find a welcome at either of our congregations!
Whatever your situation, I encourage you to come check us out. Take the time to attend for a couple weeks in a row to get a deeper sense of who we are and how following Jesus is lived out in our lives. After a few short weeks, you will know if we are the place for you. We believe it is important to find a community that will nurture your spiritual growth, connect you with a group of people who will walk through the challenges and joys of life, and provide opportunities to serve our neighbors, near and far. You will find that at Central or Algonquin United Methodist Churches.
If you wish to talk or are interested in getting involved in some other way, email me at Vickie.31.Hadaway@gmail.com. I will get back to you shortly. Thank you for checking out our website and for taking the time to read about us. Whether at one of our churches or out and about in the Sault Sainte Marie “Soo” area, I hope our paths cross in the near future.
Grace & peace,
Pastor Vickie
