Important note regarding Altar Flowers

As many of you already know, there was a devastating fire on Main Street in Chatham this week that impacted a number of local businesses. We are relieved that no one was injured in this fire.


One of the businesses that was severely damaged is our longtime florist, Sunnywoods. We have been in contact with Sunnywoods to offer them our support and continued prayers; we look forward to the time when they reopen. We will deeply miss Rosa and Cindy's beautiful creations that brightened our sanctuary.


At this time, we will not be taking new requests for Altar Flowers. We are seeking to accommodate individuals that have already placed requests in the coming weeks. Any questions, please email Eileen Ruggiero at chatumc@optonline.net
