Since our founding in 1844, the United Methodist Church of Chagrin Falls has provided a vibrant Christian experience in the heart of Chagrin Falls. Our present sanctuary was erected in 1885 and allows us to offer a traditional and welcoming worship experience, a caring community to help us all on our faith journey, and a place to enjoy life together as we grow in love for God and one another.

Work to replace the water main and resurface South Franklin Street has started in front of our church on Friday, April 12. Please see the notice below.

The north end of the church (the entrance by the women’s restroom) will be unlocked on Sunday mornings, for your convenience, if you prefer to use that entrance.

VILLAGE OF CHAGRIN FALLS CONSTRUCTION NOTICE (S. Franklin Street)
April 10, 2013
Construction activities to replace the water main from Maple Street to Washington Street will re-commence on or about Friday, April 12, 2013, weather permitting. Water main replacement work will be followed as quickly as possible with resurfacing of the road between South Street and Washington Street. The scheduled completion date for this final phase of work is May 24, 2013. Work hours will typically be between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM.
S. Franklin Street will be closed to through traffic during the course of the project. A detour will be established using Maple Street and Water Street for through traffic.
There will likely be a few instances when water service is disrupted in order to make new tie-ins to existing lines. The shut-down usually lasts four to six hours. You will be notified a day in advance of planned shut-down periods so that you may plan accordingly. There is also the possibility that breaks in the existing water main may occur during construction due to the age and condition of the line, in these instances the water department will issue notices (boil alerts) on a case by case basis. Your patience is appreciated.
We anticipate a smooth and safe installation, although we know there can always be unpredictable events. Thank you in advance for your patience and cooperation during this project.
The following dates are available to volunteer at the Cleveland Food Bank. We will need a minimum of ten people signed up for each date. Please check your calendar and mark in when YOU can come help. Then, sign up on the sheet posted on the bulletin board in the church foyer.
