Upcoming . . .

​Christmas This Year – We’re sad that many of the traditions that are so beloved to Chebeague will look different this year. Our Christmas Eve service will be held virtually via Zoom on Thursday, December 24th at 7 PM. Click here to join us. Be sure that each person has a candle!

Advent Devotionals for Families and People of All Ages – We’re excited this year to be able to provide resources for worship-at-home and devotional times using Illustrated Ministry’s “Do Not Be Afraid” curriculum. There’s a devotional perfect for families as well as one for individual use. We also have nativity stickers for kids! To request copies of any of these materials, contact the church office at chebeagueislandumc@gmail.com or via 207-846-6987. We can mail or email copies out to you.

​Book Study Group:

​​“Churches have begun awakening to social and political injustices, often carried out in the name of Christianity. But once awakened, how will we respond?” – from the back cover.  FMI, please contact Gloria Brown:  Email.
