All youth are invited to have fun at the Friendsgiving Feast this Wed, Nov 17 at 6:00PM in the Youth Rm. Bring your appetite!
This event has unfortunately been canceled for this year.
Two months ago Hurricane Ida hit the gulf coast of Louisiana and caused a lot of damage, we're going to offer a lot of hope and help to clean up a tiny corner of the mess.
What are we going to do: We're going to drive over to Golden Meadow (about 310 miles), talk a bit to hear a story or or two, and then get to work
More specifically: We will (most likely) be cleaning up tree debris, and maybe some household goods, and perhaps even put a tarp on a roof; basically whatever they need.
When: Monday - Tuesday, November 15-16, 2021
Schedule: Depart Crestview: 6am Monday
Arrive Golden Meadow UMC: noon Monday
First shift: 1-6pm Monday
Second shift: 8am-1pmTuesday
Depart GMUMC: 2pm Tuesday
Arrive Crestview: 8pm Tuesday
Who: So far, it's just me and Pastor Ronnie, so we need your help too.
Commentary: We'll be operating out of the Golden Meadow UMC and staying there over night, we need to bring along our own air mattresses and bedding (sleeping bags) and they will be providing a us some floor space, restrooms, and showers and a few meals to boot.
Please consider making this trip with us.
(( By the way, I know that some of you all aren't prepared to do a lot of physical work, but honestly, for me personally, it's the psychological part of trip that is the hardest. ))
Please forward this on to anyone that you think might be interested in helping out. Thanks!

Our Harvest Pantry Wagon will greet you at the front of the CRC to accept canned goods & other items that will help fill Thanksgiving boxes for those in need in our community. Items requested are canned yams, stuffing, instant mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, etc.
A Very Benevolence Christmas will officially kick-off that night with our team ready to assist as you pick an Angel from our Angel Tree. Our children come from our community of Crestview and this may provide them with the only Christmas they will receive this year. Please consider participating in this wonderful FUMC tradition!
