WE NEED YOU!
Our children's ministry is still in need of 2 more volunteers! We would like to have each volunteer help 2x a month for a class, so that all teachers can alternate teaching weeks. The lessons are pre-planned and written in the Dwell curriculum - no preparation needed from teachers. Plus: it is great spending time with our youth and getting to know them! Thank you and if willing, please email Jackie ASAP at:childrens@crestviewchurch.org.
 
Thanks :)

Interested in joining the Community / Bridge team? 
The Community / Bridge team is one of the four ministry teams being formed under the Healthy Church initiative.  This team is responsible for social activities of the church, such as our BBQs, Bridge events, etc.  This team is also responsible for Service projects, such as BOHO.  For Crestview to be healthy, we need to nourish our existing members while always reaching out towards others, offering God's grace and love.  If interested, please contact Muffie VanAndel, (303) 444-7036 or margaret.vanandel@gmail.com.

Tangled on Tanglewood: Knit and crochet group
The purpose of this group is to create community around something we enjoy while  learning to authentically live out our faith.  If this sounds good to you but don't know how to knit or crochet, that's okay.  I love to teach and have taught knitting and crochet for BVSD LifeLong Learning.  Anyone over 14 welcome.  For more info please text Eileen at 720 244-6024 or email me at eileenevergreen@gmail.com
 
Community Garden Plans at Crestview
Over the last few months a garden committee, (Mark, Deone, Jess, Eleanor and Eileen) have been looking into the possibility of a community garden on Crestview's large plot of land. We are still in the planning stages and would welcome feedback, comments and anyone interested in becoming more involved - either in the planning process, or tending a plot next year. 

Please keep this project in your prayers - that we can build not just garden plots, but lasting relationships and community as well. And that there may be many opportunities to extend God's love and grace to our corner of Boulder. 

Jess & Danny to do Light the Night Walk
OK, the day has ALMOST arrived!  Danny and Jess will be doing the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Light the Night Walk in Denver next Thursday, September 29.  The walk is to raise money for blood cancer patient treatments.  One of their really good friends, Zoe, had leukemia and is in remission but still needs to take a pill every day for the rest of her life.  (Zoe also works for the local Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in Denver.)  If you are interested in sponsoring Jess and/or Dan for this very good cause that would be “awesome.”  Just click on their fund raising pages below:

If anyone is interested in participating in the event, please contact Danny at dannydotcom@gmail.com and he will send you more information.
