“History is more than facts and figures. It is full of real people with real stories. Connecting with those people and stories helps us understand our lives and discern God’s direction for our future. That is why it is important constantly to connect our teaching back to the important people in our church history. To help you do that, we have gathered some interesting, and maybe even surprising, facts about John Wesley to help you connect United Methodist history to your next lesson.” Click HERE to learn more about John Wesley, brought to us by United Methodist Communications.

Gifford Hall is central to the heart of Crawford. It is where we gather for fellowship, engage in celebrations, and welcome our neighbors for community events. This summer we are taking on an upgrade project that includes replacing the windows for improved efficiency, improving the acoustics so we can better hear each other in there, adding technology that will enable new uses of the space, and adding energy efficient mini-splits to better heat the space in the winter and keep it cool in summer.
This project is an investment that will build on our history and prepare us for a future full of new possibilities, connection, comfort, and community. Click HERE for more details about this important project!
