Groups

There are many ways for you to connect or serve at Cumberland!

 Cumberland Presbyterian Women's Ministry is led by Mary Kay Donnell and Beverly Sloan. 

The Cumberland Men's Fellowship meets on the second Wednesday of each month (either at 11:30 am for lunch or at 6 pm for food and fellowship in the church).  The group has aided in improvements for the church and supported area families in need.  Rob Latimer is the President. Steve Graves is the Vice-President; Milton Wright is the Treasurer and Steve Graves is the Secretary.
 

Love to sing? We'd love to have you sing with us.  The Cumberland Choir is directed by Diana Malan and does an annual Christmas cantata as well as special music for the Easter season.  In addition, singers are welcome at our annual Ice Cream and Music Fest (usually held in July) and Music Night (held in October).

The Prayer Shawl Ministry provides handmade shawls and blankets for members of the church who are experiencing health issues or going through a variety of transitions (i.e. new baby, death of a loved one, marriage, etc.).  The volunteers pray for the needs of the recipient as they make the item and then the shawl or blanket is dedicated during a worship service.  The team reports to the Outreach Committee.  Mary Kay Donnell is the chair of the Outreach Committee and an active leader in the Prayer Shawl ministry as well.
