Some of the many improvements you will see during
our Summer Sprucing:
- Our floors have been beautifully cleaned and waxed.
- The old boilers are being replaced and old asbestos has been meticulously and safely removed.
- Lower level classrooms (including the Nursery School) have been cleaned out in preparation for new flooring installation.
- The State of NJ has removed an additional two dead trees on Main Street in front of the Sanctuary. The trees were assessed by the state after an early spring storm caused another tree to fall and destroy our Main street sign.

CUMC Ministry Needs & Links

CUMAC NEEDS OUR HELP!
Summer months are a critical time for food donations to pantries because fewer donations come in. It is the time when children are off from school for summer vacation and do not have their regular meal at school. For many of the children the meal they would receive at school is the only secure daily meal that they have. Therefore, in summer the need for food increases.
Following are some suggestions to donate: peanut butter, jelly, canned soups, canned fruits, pasta, pasta sauce, canned spaghetti, rice, canned vegetables, mac and cheese, canned meat, tuna, chicken, meatballs, pancake mix, syrup, snacks, cold cereal, beef stew, Chef Boyardee, chilli, shelf stable milk (boxed, canned, powdered).
Donations may be left in stairwell.
Thank you on behalf of CUMAC and the people they serve.
CUMAC is no longer accepting empty coffee cans.
