Until further notice we have decided that we will keep the doors locked during the hours that CMP is open. We know this will be somewhat inconvenient and pose a challenge to our ministry of hospitality and welcome, but these are the times in which we live. After Monday's experience of the Madison and Chatham schools' sudden shelter-in-place response to word of nearby college campus' going into lockdown, we will need to do everything in our power to make the children, parents, and all staff at Chatham Methodist Preschool and CUMC feel safe.
