UPDATED October 2022 CUMC GROUP NEWS: 

For all returning and new groups/classes/meetings, if you want to meet (inside or outside), you must fill out a room request form, and Building Use Agreement forms, and read our revised Building Use Policy.  The links to those documents are on our contact us page.  Masks are optional and occupancy levels are what they were pre-Covid.   Please turn out any lights you aren't using and close any windows when you leave.  Leave all rooms as you found them unless instructed otherwise.   

If you are in a position to support our church financially, we have a message from our finance committee.  To donate directly on our website, go to our Giving page. We thank you for all of your support given in so many ways. Not only your financial donations as you are able but also your words of encouragement and love.

We monitor and follow the guidance of the county regarding any health emergencies.  We are thankful that we can live stream our worship services for those who choose to worship from home and for our shut-ins. In the church building, we still provide hand sanitizer stations, and hand washing sinks, and expect if someone is ill, they will remain at home. 

Masks at CUMC  are optional including during worship while singing. 

We pray that you are safe and well at this moment. 

God Bless!

Pastor Aaron Gray and Staff
