What Storm? This weekend Niles scout troop 579 came for a campout at Crystal Springs Camp & Retreat Center. It stormed pretty bad as they arrived on Friday, but Scouts are resourceful. They sought out 15,000 square feet of shelter under our Tabernacle for a safe, dry first night. Are you looking to host an event, but worry about it being ruined by rain? We can help.
Congratulations United Methodist Women on 150 years of working for justice and serving the needs of women, children and youth. #umwassembly2018
