Beat the Heat Resources

This week and continuing for the next several days, we will remain in a heat advisory. Both Chatham Borough and Chatham Township will offer the Library on Main Street as a cooling center. They also offer use of their municipal pools to resident senior citizens for free. Just bring your ID!

The Borough of Madison also has a list of cooling stations as well as resources and tips for safely managing this heat.

Current Masking Policy

The CUMC Church Council has voted unanimously to follow the CDC Covid Data tracker for Morris County to evaluate weekly Covid levels. 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). You may check to see what the current Morris County Covid levels are prior to coming by Clicking Here

Thank you for your ongoing patience, and expressions

of care for your neighbors!

We will be sure to put out the new addition when we get it and provide an update in the ENews when it arrives. In the meantime, Click Here for the Upper Room website for additional resources.
