First Baptist Church Crystal Beach is
holding
services at 11:00 a.m. each Sunday on the front steps of our church.
Our first service was last week and it was great! We would like to
invite everyone on the peninsula to attend. They will surely receive a
blessing.
There is also worship service at the
Tiki Bar
& Grill every Sunday morning from 9:00 to 9:30. This
invitation is open to all.

"I
keep
hearing that Crystal Beach is "Gone." Hogwash. It isn't gone. Maybe
some of the wood and nails that made up houses are gone...But
Crystal Beach is still there, and it will come back better than ever."
(Sarah
Morrison Stephens, Deatsville, Alabama)
"...like most
things, it wasn’t necessarily the physical structure that makes a
place
special but it was the people who lived there." (MR McDermott,
Dallas TX)
