Sunday’s 10:00 am June 1st service will feature the Wesley Ringers ringing The Merry-Go-Round of Life by Joe Hisaichi with Mike Maguire, keyboard, and the Covenant Choir singing Be Thou My Vision arranged by Dan Forrest. Join us!
Look forward to Sunday Morning Ministry Appreciation Sunday, on June 8th at 10:00 am in which we will conclude the program season and celebrate all who make our Sunday morning worship services possible: musicians, faith formation teachers, ushers, greeters, audio technicians, coffee and refreshment helpers, and all who help. Thank you for your help in making our Sunday morning an enjoyable and substantial experience. We will also honor especially our CUMC Choral Scholars who lead the Covenant Choir each week.

| | | | In honor of Women's Health Awareness month and in support of the CUMC Community Food Pantry and Distribution, the Madison Area YMCA is hosting a women's health and hygiene care items drive and a food drive (see list of items in the fliers below). There's a drop-box in the foyer of the Madison Area YMCA, at 111 Kings Road, Chatham, until May 30th where you can drop off donations. | | 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. | |
