We have been busy preparing our building and grounds for your return! Our "summer spruce up" activities continued this week with more painting and repair. We look forward to welcoming you back soon. Be sure to see information below about Rally Day '22!

During the last Sunday's worship service, we received the following requests for prayers...

• Of Healing for Bill B. as he continues to recover and Marge as she cares for him.
• For Sheri O. and her family as they grieve the death of Sheri's brother, Steven S., on June 24, 2022.

Hold The Date!

Rally Day 2022 is Coming!

Rally Day, our annual community-building event, is set for Sunday September 18^th! We will start our day of with joyful worship in the sanctuary at 10:00AM. Students and educators (pre-school through grad-school), we invite you to bring your literal or figurative school bags to worship to receive a blessing. 

Following worship service, join us for grilled burgers and hotdogs, games, and fellowship! Please bring a side salad and/or a dessert. Starting next week, we will have a Sign Up Genius available in the ENews. If you prefer, a paper sign up sheet will be available starting this weekend on the bulletin board outside Jeff's office. We will need you to RSVP so we can plan accordingly. In order for our day to be success, we will need some helpers to lend a hand. 

Let’s start the new school year and launch our fall programs with a fun time filled with food, friends, and laughter! Hope to see you there.

Help Up Turn the Towns Teal this Sunday, August 28^th!

September is National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. We will need a couple of volunteers to join our CUMC team after our 10:00 AM worship service this Sunday to help tie Teal ribbons around our trees. This is a national movement that started right in here in Chatham as a way to call attention to this disease. Turn the Towns Teal is an expression of support and solidarity for those dealing with ovarian cancer. To read more about this movement, Click Here.

Going forward, this tracker will help guide us in determining our indoor mask usage for all CUMC functions. Covid levels and recommendations are updated weekly on Thursday nights by the CDC. These updates will be used at CUMC from Friday-Friday and will state if masks required (high level) or optional (medium/low).
