Around five years ago, Angela Zangerle, a Navarre resident, was taking a tour of Santa Rosa Kids House, a nonprofit which provides services such as counseling, as well as shelter, for children who’ve been abused. The nonprofit has helped thousands of children, according to its website.

On Nov. 5, Navarre United Methodist Church held a 40th anniversary celebration during their Sunday service. The church also held a fellowship luncheon after the service.

Pastor David Morris delivered the sermon, where he discussed the past, present and future of the church.

On Nov. 4, a local church will be building beds for those less fortunate.

Navarre United Methodist is partnering with Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a national nonprofit which builds twin sized beds for children ages three to 17 and delivers them fully furnished. From 2012 (the year it was founded) to 2022, Sleep in Heavenly Peace has delivered approximately 140,583 beds. There are 326 chapters of the organization.

Few people think of a church as the place for a haunted house attraction, but for the Community of Christ Church in Navarre, it has become a tradition.

Although the event was last held in 2018, Danny Hawkins, Huston Hawkins and Jack Porter, the event organizers, haven’t forgotten the thrills (and chills) which make ‘Fear Forest’ a spectacle to behold.

The Bible commands believers to pray without ceasing, and that’s exactly what First Baptist Church of Navarre (FBCN) did October 11 in their sanctuary.

For the past two years, First Baptist Church of Navarre has searched for a new pastor to help guide the church into a new era.
In August, they found their man and Oct. 1, he officially began his tenure as pastor. Greg Love, who has spent the last nine years at Crossview Baptist Church in Tifton, Georgia, is excited for the new opportunity.

In the final few months of 2019, Rick Armstrong was at the lowest point in his life.
In September 2019, his wife, a 42-year-old nurse at a medical center in Carrollton, Georgia, contracted a Streptococcal disease and died.

Despite being on the job for only about two months, Monika Cosson already feels at home.
St. Paul’s United Methodist Church hired Cosson in July to replace Bryan Adams, who had been music minister at the church since 2019.

Along Highway 98, Soundview Plaza, where All American Heroes Subs used to be, has sat empty for months.
