Music News
During our CUMC Ministry Appreciation Sunday, June 8th at 10:00 a.m., the Covenant Choir will perform Sing Gently by Eric Whitacre. This Sunday we will conclude the program season and celebrate all who make our Sunday worship services possible: musicians, faith formation teachers, ushers, greeters, audio technicians, coffee and refreshment team, and all who help in the morning. Thank you for your help in making our Sunday morning an enjoyable and substantial experience. We will also honor our CUMC Choral Scholars who lead the Covenant Choir each week.

| | | | New Food Panty Pick-Up Program | | Would you like to donate food items to the food pantry but you don't have time? or you mean to, but forget? or maybe you are unable to get to the church to drop off? Well, Chatham High Schooler, Blake Zidle, has come up with a terrific plan to to make it easier to donate food and keep the CUMC Community Food Pantry stocked: He will drive to your home and pick up your non-perishable food donations. Blake is learning to drive so for now his mom will help him with pick-ups. But in the Fall, when he gets his drivers license, he's looking forward to running the program himself. | | Blake has designed green reusable grocery bags that can be picked up from the church office, or from the food donation bin outside the back door. Please support his efforts. See flier below for details. | |
