Community Support & Interaction

Community Food Pantry

Kids Hope USA – Cedar Springs UMC is a Kids Hope congregation. We have partnered with the Cedar Springs elementary schools to mentor, pray, and create one-on-one relationships to make a difference in the life of a child.

Church Camp – Brochures for summer camps are available in the office. Various church groups set aside money to pay a portion of each person’s camp registration fee, and extra financial help is available, so don’t let the cost be a deterrent to registering for camp. Camp changes lives! If interested please contact the church office or Nancy Noreen @ nanoreen@aol.com

Habitat Summer Mission Trip – Every summer CSUMC travels up north to work on a Habitat for Humanity project. If you are interested in participating in the summer mission trips please call Tom at 696-5186 or email to: tomnoreen@aol.com. He can provide you with the application and other materials needed to complete the training. Everyone attending must also finish an online series of training prior to our departure. You must be 14 years of age by our departure date.

UPDATE REGARDING IN-PERSON WORSHIP – 08/2021

“Our ‘Rethinking Church’ Task Force has once again met and it has been decided return to:

Worship: Masks will be required by all who attend worship.
Fellowship: Fellowship time still allowed but no food or coffee.
Choir: No choir for now.
Small groups: will be allowed to make their own decisions and the office will wear masks as necessary when people are in office.

Online livestream service will still be available on our Facebook page for those not yet ready to return to in-person worship.
