Church Office Hours

Normal office hours: Monday-Thursday 9am-4pm and Friday from 9am-1pm. Please wear a mask to visit the church office.

Please stay home if you are sick, have a fever, or display two or more of the following symptoms: shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, chills or shaking, cough, flu-like symptoms, diarrhea, intestinal upset, or fatigue, sore throat, headache, muscle pain, recent loss of taste or smell.

Altar Flowers

The flowers on the altar this Sunday are given to the Glory of God, in loving memory of those we lost to cancer and in honor of those struggling to beat cancer. We pray for the day that cancer is no more.

Would you like to recognize a significant event such as a birthday or anniversary while also providing a beautiful display for the altar? If you would like to reserve a date, please call the office at 540-825-0764 or sign up at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60B084AA4A629A3FE3-cumc6 .

The 8AM in-person service will be inside the sanctuary. This service will not be livestreamed, however the 10AM service will be both in-person and livestreamed.

Updated Restrictions, Singing Allowed!

Due to the Delta variant, masks are strongly recommended but not required for those who are fully vaccinated at the 8AM service. Masks are strongly recommended at the 10AM service due to the presence of unvaccinated children.

Singing is now allowed. If you are uncomfortable being around those singing, we are reserving the balcony as a "no-singing zone." For more details, visit our website at culpeperumc.org.
