Beymer Memorial Methodist Church Rocks!

We received a nice note from Rev. Sharon Bates at Beymer Memorial Methoidst Church with these pictures of their trip, including a picutre when they presented CREW with a gift of $500 to help victims of Hurricane Wilma.


She writes: "Thanks for helping us have a rewarding mission trip to Clewiston October 10-13. We were very impressed with your cooperation and communication. Your cheerful and positive attitudes and enormous supply of patience with us were most appreciated by all in our group. Chuck gave us great instructions on how to do some new skills that we can now add to our list!! The First United Methodist Church and the Presbyterian churches are to be complimented> for their hospitality to us. The county showers were always clean and had plenty of warm water to help us clean up and rejuvenate! We hope we can work together again! I will try to send more pictures as we gather them from the other cameras!! In His Peace, Sharon Bates Beymer Memorial United Methodist Church Winter Haven, Florida "

This volunteer group was wonderful. In addition to all their hard labor, they gave the First United Methodist Church a monetary gift for hosting them one night for dinner and letting them sleep on the hard floors in their Sunday School rooms. They even had to drive to the local Marina to find a place to shower. They also provided Community Presbyterian Church with a monetary gift for hosting them one night for dinner as well. How blessed our community was to have them visit!
