Crestview Nursing Home Honors First UMC & Second Saturday Outreach

[Above Picture: A First UMC Second Saturday Outreach volunteer helps a Crestview Nursing Home staff member with the ever popular Saturday morning bingo game. Playing bingo helps the residents with their cognitive skills and provides fun fellowship. The games can also become competitive!]
 
Chair volleyball, bingo, blankets, fruit & cookies deliveries...these are the many ways that our church has been involved at Crestview Nursing Home through Second Saturday Outreach. Our church was recently recognized by Crestview Nursing Home for the many ways that we help at their facility.

One of our church members who is part of this outreach said, "I'm proud of all the volunteers and our church. Congratulations!"

Second Saturday is a ministry outreach that meets on the second Saturday of each month in the morning beginning at 8:30 am at our Crossroads facility, 2095 W. Fair Avenue. From there, several members of our church go out to to serve in our community in a variety of ways such as cleaning up the parks, painting park benches, serving breakfast at Foundation Dinner, making blankets to give to community agencies, splitting wood to give to people who need heat during the cold season, offering free car washes, and volunteering at Crestview just to name a few.

Join us for our Second Saturday outreach. There's something for everyone to do!
