Below are some of the plans being implemented to make worship as safe as possible out of respect for all attending. Check the newsletter each week for updates and additional information. Our worship services are also available on Facebook Live at https://www.facebook.com/cumcshelby/. Note: you do not need to have a FB page in order to watch these videos. Sermons and special services will also be available for online viewing on our Latest Sermons page.
Reservations
We encourage attendees to make registrations for each Sunday. This is so that we can be prepared to handle the size crowd and to expediate check-in at the door. We currently have a max capacity of 125. Those who do not make reservations will need to sign in with name, address, phone, etc. There will be separate sign ups for each Sunday.

Procedures for Entering and Exiting the Sanctuary
Final touches are being made on a protocol for social distancing, sanitizer, masks, taking temperatures, sign-in, offering, seating plan. These will be made available via church communications and a video that is being produced.
Boxes will be placed at the entrances for offerings.
Social distancing is expected in all areas including sidewalks. If persons wish to talk with others, they are invited to social distance in the Scruggs Center/Old Courthouse Square across the street. The intent is for safety and continued flow of people exiting the building.
Special Services
May 16, we will honor our 2021 graduates for all of their hard work and dedication.
May 23, we will celebrate with our 2020 confirmands as they are finally confirmed within the United Methodist Church!
Please make plans to be present on both of these Sundays as a sign of your presence and commitment to these two special groups of our CUMC family!
Sunday School
Beginning Sunday, May 2nd, 9 am. It has been over a year since our halls were filled with everyone going to Sunday School on Sunday mornings…. We are ready to get back!!! There will be a few changes, but we hope you will return to studying the Bible with others. If you have been in a class, your leader will let you know where your class is meeting, as locations may be different to accommodate social distancing. If you are looking for a class, Pastor Fawn will be available to direct you to a group. We are excited to regroup – with masks of course!
