Get Involved
“We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10
As you get to know Crawford, you will find both a variety of opportunities for our members and friends to connect with one another in meaningful ways, and opportunities to serve God in the community.
Crawford’s Micro Pantry
Crawford’s Micro Pantry was established in June of 2020. (See a Wicked Local article about it, HERE.) Since then, one of Troop 507’s Eagle Scouts built a larger pantry for us to better meet the demand that has only grown over the years. We are now using the larger pantry for food, and the smaller one (the original) for personal care products. Current needs are shared in the Messenger, our weekly email newsletter, which you can subscribe to HERE. You can place your donations directly in the pantry, or bring them to church on Sunday, and leave them in the big yellow box outside of Gifford Hall. Please no clothes, no items in glass containers, and no perishable items. Thank you!
Dwelling Place
Sign up here to help prepare a nutritious meal for guests of the Dwelling Place, a free dinner program founded in 1987 and run out of the United Methodist Church in Woburn at 523 Main Street. Crawford prepares and serves dinner on the 4th Monday of every month, and all are welcome to help out. For more information, please click on the button below or contact the church office.
Dwelling PlaceVisitation Group
We have started to gather a group of church members who might like to visit those Crawford friends and members who are homebound. Do you have the time and interest in joining us? Visits don’t need to be long. If you know of anyone who might like a visit please let us know. If you have any questions and if you are interested in helping with the visitations, contact Sue Powers or leave a message for her in the church office by emailing office@crawfordumc.org.
Liturgists
We need readers for our Sunday morning services. You’ll receive the reading in advance, giving you time to practice. If you have questions about what’s involved, contact Pastor Anne or our Lay Leader, Neil Cudmore. Sign up to be a liturgist here.
LiturgistCoffee Hour
Everyone is invited to join us for Coffee Hour (our weekly “communion”) after the service. Each week Coffee Hour is served by a team organized alphabetically by last name. Everyone is encouraged to join our Coffee Hour teams. The schedule is published in the Messenger and the team responsible for the upcoming week is listed in the Sunday Bulletin.
