Crave Welcomes Patrick Craig to Staff

Born and raised in Alabama, Patrick has answered a call he never expected to receive, "Come home!" After spending the last four years in Spartanburg, SC, the location of Wofford College where he received his B.A. in Religion, Patrick is excited to return in order to lead KINGDOM CULTURE -- a ministry of college students and young adults. During his time in Spartanburg, Patrick became a frequent speaker and worship leader for events such as FCA rallies and Disciple Now weekends across the southeast. A gifted musician and communicator with a heart for justice, Patrick's desire is to restore the Word of God to both corporate worship and social action. For when we participate in such peculiar activities, we become a people, often unwittingly, who point toward the final victory of God's Kingdom which is breaking into the present world. This, after all, is what KINGDOM CULTURE is all about. What all this means is that Patrick talks with a lot of people, plays a lot of music, and drinks a lot of coffee. And all this makes for a wonderful life. Patrick will begin as a full time minister with Crave on May 27, 2012, the same day Crave will launch "Kingdom Culture".

Welcome to Red Zone

As the young adult/college ministry of Frazer UMC, our focus is the application of biblical principles to the lives of those who are moving through this critical time in life. Red Zone seeks to minister and offer fellowship to all 18-25 year olds whether they are in college, military service, vocational schools, or other career roles. We seek to grow closer to Christ through service, fellowship, study and worship.

Mixers

Mixers are the best way to connect. Each month there will be three mixers at no cost to you! The purpose of this time is for everyone to hangout and learn more about each other and the Red Zone ministry. Take advantage of these FREE opportunities - Fellowship, Fun, and Food!

When We Meet
We will meet on the second Sunday of each month in the Crave Room (8251) in the JEMAC (the second level of the Activity Center) after Red Zone for free lunch and a movie.

On the fourth Thursday of each month we will meet at Starbucks at Eastchase at 7:30PM.

We gather Friday nights to worship together with our neighboring community of Village Green from 6:30-9:30PM at Village Green Apartments directly behind the church. Pizza & dessert included!

Bible Studies

Discipleship happens in relationships and the study of God's Word. Therefore, the goal of bible studies are to see God form a biblical community among the Red Zone group. Our bible studies are simply a means by which Christians can grow in their walk with Christ and see the Gospel multiplied in others' lives. We meet Sundays at 11:00AM in the Crave Room (8251) in the JEMAC (the second level of the Activity Center).

Following the second Sunday movie, there will be a study looking into the biblical application of the film that was viewed.

The bible study will meet from 7-8:30 p.m. at the home of Johnny Boyd located at 2441 Old Creek Rd on the Tuesday following the movie each month.

Every Wednesday night will be a women only bible study in Room 8210. From 6:30-7:00 there will be a light dinner & fellowship, followed by a bible study from 7:00-8:00PM.

Outreach

Throughout the year we will serve the Adullam House! The Adullam House is a home for children of incarcerated parents. Children receive love and care and most importantly, Biblical teaching. We will serve by doing work-related projects and building relationships. God tells us to take care of the fatherless (James 1:27) and to look after the needy (Proverbs 31:9).

View our upcoming outreach opportunities on our Events page.

In order to serve with us at the Adullam House, you must register the Tuesday prior to the Saturday we serve. You can register by contacting Lauren Matson at 334-495-6409 or .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).

FAITH. FAMILY. FRIENDS. FUTURE.

Each year people across the globe decide on a new year's resolution. Whether it's losing 20 lbs, spending more time with family, taking more naps, or something of the like, these goals seem to fade away just as quickly as the months go by. Will 2012 be any different?

We believe so.

The Crave Staff has spent a great deal of time thinking about your life. You can pretty much sum it up in four areas: Faith, Family, Friends, and Future. In each area we challenge you to following....

FAITH - read the entire Bible in 2012
FAMILY - begin a family devotion time with your family or roommates
FRIENDS - start a prayer group at your job or college/university
FUTURE - serve on a local mission opportunity and/or attend a mission trip
